Hi everyone!
It is week 2 of my blog and today I wanted to talk about one of my favorite types of poems: One Word Poems.
First of all, one word poems are probably one of the easiest poems to write. At the beginning of your day, think of one word. It can be any word, any word at all. For example, this morning I thought of the word soup. Soup...just as simple as that. As you go about your day, just think of ways to talk about your one word. Since my word is soup, I could say something like...
Soup is the best food of all.
You can make a large batch or just start small....
See how easy it is! Best of all, you don't have make your poem rhyme. If you would rather write a one page short story about your one word, that would be fine too. You can even make a rap about that one word. During the day if you think of a really clever rhyme or a sentence that characterizes your word, write it down. At the end of the day when you have your poem or story all written out, you will have a masterpiece. This type of poetry is an easy way to become inspired to continue writing or to get yourself back into the magical world of writing.
So what are you waiting for? What is your one word of the day? What would you write about?
Today, this is my writing challenge for you writers out there. Choose your one word, write a phrase or a sentence periodically throughout your day, and have fun!
I hope you have a wonderful day and be sure to leave comments about poems that you have come up with and your entries for today's writing challenge.
Happy Writing!
