April 2023 Poem a Day Challenge #30

This is my final poem! It’s a narrative poem, and I wanted to make some accompanying art for it, so here it is! 

Albeit, a narrative poem that might feel conceptual and a bit incomplete. I think that when I think about a story, I think about it in terms of episodes or chapters because television/books are the media I’ve engaged the most with! I was really happy with the concept but less so with the execution-- I do wish my art skills and formatting skills for the medium were better and I think I will continue to grow that by just continuing to do it! I enjoyed making the story about the Face Lurker. I’ve always loved Halloween and scary stories, expressing fears and struggles that are often universal themes. ^^

Overall, I’m really happy I did the April Poem a Day challenge, because while writing everyday, I did end up creating maybe 2 poems that I liked. Overall, I found myself paying a lot more attention to song lyrics and poems I liked and thinking about how I could express myself that way. That love of a single, resonant line, or a complicated emotion captured in a short stanza is beautiful to me. I hope to continue to work on poetry and other writing/art at a slower pace so I can sit with things for longer and create something I’m proud of. Thank you world of poetry and people and expression.

April 2023 Poem a Day Challenge #28

For being such a long poem, I’m again not a fan of it. I like the name and I like the core concept that is really the 3rd stanza. Maybe I’ll revisit it one day?

I have no idea what poems are called when you shape them into a visual-- but I love them! I don’t remember where or how I learned about them either...

April 2023 Poem a Day Challenge #25

I love the art that other people make so much that I wonder how they are ever unhappy with themselves as artists. I also accidentally samed this as “Poeam,” haha!

April 2023 Poem a Day Challenge #24

I’m not a fan of poems that are tonally preachy or directive, but this one came from a conversation I had the other day when it was written on the 24th.

April 2023 Poem a Day Challenge #23 

‘Wanted to write a descriptive, pedantic poem. It kind of just became “hey, ever want to just run away into the forest?” Haha!

April 2023 Poem a Day Challenge #22

I’d like to write a more nuanced poem one day about this kind of concept of romanticsing or making sense of something hurtful through this idea? Working on doing more complete story-telling in poems. I think thos one’s a tiny step closer to being a whole idea and not feeling too vague, but I think I still have a ways to go.

Another suggestion from a friend. I’ve never thought much of Solitare, in fact, I usually think I dislike it-- so I thought about it and wrote something for it.
