This post marks the beginning of my #AtoZBlogChallenge meets Poetry Month series at Traveling Coffee Girl.
It’s not an April Fool’s joke! This month we’re changing things up a little bit for the next 26 days. How did we go from coffee and cozy thoughts to deciding on participating in the A to Z Blog Challenge with a tribute to National Poetry Month?
A couple of months ago, I was at the Cove Cafe when I fell in love with poetry all over again. The next day I attempted to start the Stafford Poetry Challenge and got frustrated because my art minded brain decided to make things complicated by writing poetry on my chalkboard, desk calendar, and a manual typewriter before I got distracted by a pencil and started drawing a sketch or painting or whatever random things I do.
Then, I found out about the A to Z Blog Challenge. Ten years ago, I made an attempt at this challenge. Attempt might not be the best word, since I wasn’t in the best place and made it to C before I stopped writing altogether. So, with a bit of friendly backup, this is a different approach to the same challenge.
With poetry and art still in mind, this year’s challenge will be poetry themed in honor of National Poetry month. I am not making any guarantees about the art part, but maybe we can add a sketch or two along the way. The A to Z part will be a challenge to both myself and my editor, Nate, as we switch off every other day and write a different style of poetry. Beginning with the obvious Abecedarian.
This is where you get to join the fun. The styles are already decided, but the Topics are not. Add your comment below and give us your ideas for what you want to see one of us write a poem about.
Thanks for joining us on this fun Spring adventure! You keep us motivated!
