Inspo for 03.04.2018
My heart is surrounded by darkness,
searching for everlasting light.
Holding onto memories that are fading,
wanting to hold on to the past. -

Types of Poetry to attempt:
1. Ode: An Ode is a poem praising and glorifying a person, place or thing.
2. Sonnet: A Sonnet is a poem consisting of 14 lines (iambic pentameter) with a particular rhyming scheme:
Examples of a rhyming scheme:
#1) abab cdcd efef gg
#2) abba cddc effe gg
#3) abba abba cdcd cd
A Shakespearean (English) sonnet has three quatrains and a couplet, and rhymes abab cdcd efef gg.
3. Villanelle: A Villanelle is a nineteen-line poem consisting of a very specific rhyming scheme: aba aba aba aba aba abaa.
The first and the third lines in the first stanza are repeated in alternating order throughout the poem, and appear together in the last couplet (last two lines). -
Tips I am going to use for this year's NaPo:
- Avoid clichés. These are sayings that have been overused, like busy as a bee, or blind as a bat.
- Use imagery. Paint with your words and use concrete words that appeal to the senses. Abstract words can not give the reader a good picture of what you are trying to say.
- Use similes and metaphors. Similes compare two things, like “you are sweet as honey” and usually use the word “like” or “as.” Metaphors state that one thing is another thing, like “you are a pig.” Things being compared in a metaphor have at least one thing in common but are very different in other ways. -
Updated goals for NaPo 2018:
- To write 2 poems each day until the end of April.
- To use five different styles of poetry.
- To write a total of 60 poems.Picture of Inspiration because there's nothing more I can put on this.
