Poetry Friday, Week 38: #inktober and #poemtober

10/15/2021

Bridget at wee words for wee ones is hosting today. I am looking forward to her new anthology, 10•10 Poetry Anthology: Celebrating 10 in 10 Different Ways.

Earlier this week, I posted the #inktober and #poemtober for Days 8 through 13 on Instagram. Today I have Days 14 and 15 for Poetry Friday. I admit both were a challenge, one more than the other for an autumnal theme.

Day 14: tick
ancient clock
midnight spooky time
tick, tick, tock

Day 15: helmet
in the field
crow on a helmet
not afraid

Poetry Friday, Week 37: #Poemtober and #Inktober

10/7/2021

Today Irene at Live Your Poem is hosting us in the Poetry Friday community. And she's sharing a great opportunity that will be available in 2022.
And she has a gorgeous autumn poem. I love this line: "how time eats daylight." It's a great mystery.

I've been attempting to be intentional in writing a haiku each day in response to the #inktober prompt. October 6 was "spirits" and October 7 is "fan".

Poetry Friday, Week 36: #Poemtober and #Inktober

10/1/2021

Today Catherine at Reading to the Core is hosting the Poetry Friday community. This month the Inklings Poetry Group are writing were challenged by Mary Lee Hahn to explain a poetry term (simile, metaphor, allegory, allusion, etc) in a poem that makes use of that term. OR tell how to write a poetry form (ode, elegy, sonnet, limerick, etc) in that form.

Catherine wrote an abecedarian poem.

My goal this month is to return to the practice of daily small poems. Some years it's been called #Poemtober. I am using the #Inktober words for inspritation. On a walk this week, I took this photo.

I am playing with two versions.
