2019 November PAD Chapbook Challenge: Day 9
For the 2019 November PAD Chapbook Challenge, poets are tasked with writing a poem a day in the month of November before assembling a chapbook manuscript in the month of December. Today's prompt is to write a Reflection Poem.
For today’s prompt, write a reflection poem. The poem could be about a physical reflection (or lack of reflection, if you're writing about vampires or ghosts). Or it could be about personal reflections or thoughts.
Quick note on commenting: I'm not sure how fast the comments will approve. I'm hoping they'll display immediately, but if they go into moderation, just know that I'll approve each and every one (that's not spammy or offensive) as soon as I'm able.
Recreate Your Poetry!
Revision doesn’t have to be a chore—something that has to be done after the joy of the first draft. In fact, revision should be viewed as an enjoyable extension of the creation process—something that you want to experience after the joy of the first draft.
Learn the three rules of revision, seven revision filters, common excuses for avoiding revision (and how to overcome them), and more in this power-packed poetry revision tutorial.
Here’s my attempt at a Reflection Poem:
“further reflection”
upon further reflection
it's easy to see
i don't know you
& you don't know me
so let's take a moment
to try & explain
why i'm not crazy
& you're not insane
we're both human beings
who want different things
so let's try to listen
when each other sings
