A Poem A Day
Posted by admin on April 24, 2009
Writing a poem everyday is a challenge that has been extended to me more than once, and which I have managed to fail at more than once. Usually it ends up more as a poem three times a week. Many of the poems that I have posted (and continue to post) here on this site are the results of my attempts at writing a poem a day.
Writing a poem everyday won’t necessarily produce the best poetry. It won’t necessarily generate volumes of memorable or fabulous poetry that moves humanity to new heights of inspiration and genius. Writing a poem a day, however, will make you a better poet and a better writer.
Like practicing anything else, writing as often as you can will help you to produce better content. Trying different forms, different words, or different concepts are all good ways to expand your talents and your mind. Even though many of the poems I have written aren’t that amazing, each of them has taught me at least one less that I won’t forget.
I challenge anyone who has any interest in writing to write every day.

What a great idea, a poem a day.. I am going to have to consider this. My poetry has gone stale and I have pushed it aside. So this is a very tempting concept.
Thank You

I have done this for short periods (a month once) several times in my life. It was interesting to me the various styles that popped out.

Keeping it going is definitely the hardest part, but it always provides a learning experience. Thanks for stopping by!

A poem a day keeps the prose-ists away.

There is a national Poetry month going on at associated content with a poetry challenge of the day. The ask you to make a poem about a specific topic and even ask for the format of the poem. haiku, list, free verse, etc.
I have to admit, I tried to write everyday, but sometimes I send some of the poems I wrote before. Then again, you are right, like any athlete who trains everyday, our muscles are our creative styles in writing and we should be able to write at least daily.
Thank you for this post!
