POETRY / POETRY PROMPT
A Brew of Rhymes and Simple Meter
A prompted poetic potion
When I write my poetry I often choose to rhyme. I find it easiest to do in simple rhythmic meter. It can be hard to make the scansion in them fit quite right but when it does the brewing of my potion’s so much sweeter.
Depending on where my mind wanders in the course of writing my poem could be brief or else composed of many stanzas. Against the Muse of poetry there is no point in fighting; my poems sometimes turn into verbose extravaganzas!
But what I most enjoy in writing poetry each day is brewing the ingredients, transforming them into a simple soup of syllables with something plain to say, or chunky broth with abstruse nuggets floating in the stew.
With thanks to Sahil Patel for the tag to join in his daily poetry prompt challenge.
The prompt for day 2 is “what makes your poetry unique”, and Sahil wrote about simplicity.
