Over the last couple of months I have been really trying to expand my writing, now here was a challenge in the complete opposite direction. I have tried for the last two weeks or so to write a poem in the set number of words and lines.... I failed horribly, but I refused to give up and tonight without even trying I wrote 3 poems well under the word count and the number of lines was no were near 25 lines. I am so excited. To make it even a happier ending, I actually like what is on the page.
Recently I was reading an author's webpage and he mentioned an online chapbook called, Right Hand Pointing. As I was reading the author mentioned that this online chapbook only published short, and I mean really short poetry, 75 words or less. I thought surely not, there is no way. So I logged on and sure enough 75 words or less. The number of lines can not be over 25 lines. WOW... Holy Cow....I love a challenge, but that just seemed impossible.
