Cyberpunky poetry about communication, control, or a lack thereof.
There's something fascinating about how machine-like people can be, or at least how I find us to be, and this NaPo thread is all about capturing that in heavily stylised, occasionally snarky and ironic ways.
My personal challenge:
- revisiting the following forms I did in NaPo 2020 and playing with them a bit more
1. tanka (including somonka)
2. (Petrarchan) sonnets
3. prose poetry
- trying out some mixing-genre forms based on various Internet things
