to write some art?
Writing every day is now a habit because of this wonderful event. I look forward to it, and all the trappings which surround this event, book, community, etc.
Along with participating in the Lexington Poetry Gauntlet, I’m trying to completely immerse myself in poetry this year and see if I make it back out on the other side.
Because I’ve been writing a poem-a-day in June with other LEXPOMO poets since 2013. And I’m inspired by reading the work of other LEXPOMO poets. Having a daily deadline is a good thing for me. I work well under pressure.
I have always loved to write, but just recently found my love for poetry. I want to be able to share my pieces and express myself.
I have participated in several seasons of lexpomo at the encouragement of my dear friend Susan, and it has led me to a more regular practice of writing that I’m excited to continue.
I love a good challenge! I participated in LexPoMo last year. While I didn’t post a poem every day, I wrote one every day. This practice is grueling (for me) but can pull out some good poems. Notice I said “can.”
I wanted the encouragement to write more poetry and to connect with other poets.
