A few years ago I had a brain fart.
I began to write 30 second poetry. The idea was to freewrite poems, refrain from editing or fixing the grammar and see what happened.
The results were remarkable. The few people I had the courage to show... seemed to really like the poems. The poems were not rigid or fashioned. Just free thoughts that seemed to subside deep in the self conscious. I had the idea to save the poems and publish them as a book. An acquaintance said it would make the perfect book for the toilet as the poems were so succinct and though provoking.
However like most people do with great ideas , I procrastinated. Until I saw him mention the same idea on Facebook recently. Which motivated me to get my A** into gear.
So here we go every day for one year I am going to blog a 30 second poem . At the end of it I will have 365 poems that will hopefully be thoughtful, at the very least they should be interesting.
The Rules:
There are no rules the poems may be written in 30 seconds or 15 seconds or they may in fact take up to a few minutes. The point is I will not stop to think; they will be pure freestyled poems. One whole thought pattern submitted to the page without pause for reason or caution.
That's all.
Oh P/S I am going to make this post show first but after that the posts will show with the latest first and count backwards as you scroll down, that is just the way the site works.
I hope you enjoy.
