Poetry Manifesto 2020
I don't know if it's a thing. It might be a thing. An annual thing. Or it might just be the second year in a row I've done it.
I'm a bit loathe to make it a thing even though it's the inclination of my ordered brain. It loves structure but then gets overwhelmed by it and at times bored and tries to smash the whole thing down. Hence my reluctance to make it a thing.
Whatever it is, here is my Poetry Manifesto for 2020. If you're curious, you can see the one for 2019 here.
This year I'm keen to continue working on adding depth and meaning to my poetry. I want to write a short story poem and develop my story telling skills. I also want to attempt a poem consisting entirely of dialogue.
What are your writing goals for this year?
