I’ve never met real loneliness.
I have a friend that never leaves me.
It’s always there for me.
A friend I call
Poetry.

Every poet is brave-
it takes courage to
undress your soul,
dig deep, to the darkest and
scariest parts of yourself and
let them shine through your poems.

Creativity is an expression
of your deepest truth.
Sometimes you are scared of it.
Sometimes you are proud of it.
But always let it live through you –
until on the other
side you meet your own greatness.

Many of you who have been following my blog for some time know that I participated in the NaPoWriMo 2016 and it was a great experience. Some of the benefits I have described here.
At this moment, particularly in the last couple of weeks I haven’t been satisfied with my writing practice and I think it’s time to stir up things: in the next 31 days, in the coming December I intent to write 31 day long poem. Sounds strange? 🙂 Well, what I actually want to do is to write ONE poem for 31 days. The goal is to add at least three stanzas each day. And why not 30 poems for 30 days as usually challenges go? In this way, I think I will practice more my focus and attention, because as the time progresses I will have to each time read my poem from the beginning in order to continue it. So after couple of days, it will really require to keep up my concentration and follow the thinking pattern.
The second thing is, I want to use this writing experiment as a sort of an emotional tracker, to see how that reflects on my writing every day and are there any fluctuations, especially during holidays.
And the third things is, that this is a kind of ‘gift of writing’ (my birthday falls on 31st December 😉 ) – and use it as an opportunity to challenge myself to improve and observe my writing habits.
Poem post will be updated regularly every day and I will also use #31daypoem hashtag, so it’s easier to follow. If you also want to improve your writing and form a better writing habit, please join me in this fun experiment, share this information and invite friends who you think could really benefit from this exercise. Use the same hashtag so it can be easy to track down.
Once the experiment ends, beside the ’31 day long’ poem as a result, I will share my impressions and how that have impacted my writing in general.
Publishing other regular posts will go as scheduled.
So, how about you, have you participated in any similar writing experiment? Please share your thoughts in the comments below.

Count your words by
the strength of emotions they
evoke, not by
numbers.

The Japanese
have a wonderful tradition
of admiring to
something that isn’t perfect, called wabi-sabi
and it has become my mantra
each time I look at your scowling eyes,
two dark rampageous
hawks rearing
to feast on my insecurities,
my habit to kneel at your monstrous ego;
Your mouth, enraged volcano
throwing missiles of sharp, burning words
at my bowed, tired head:
wabi-sabi, wabi-sabi,
nobody’s perfect – you for
misuse of uncontrolled power
and me for unused, powerless control.
I’m yet to learn, we are equal – that’s
the perfection you blindly refuse to see.

Make a pact with yourself that you will write
every day – not because you don’t know how to write,
but simply for learning to love and enjoy your words – no matter
how distant, fake or fade
in the beginning they may stray.
