Two years ago, I participated in NaPoWriMo with the former Found Poetry Review. And the goal was to create 30 different poems using various found and experimental techniques. Some of these techniques I use to this day because it allows me to discover new word combinations. The poems can be thought-provoking. Some may not even have "meaning." Sometimes poetry can be enjoyed by the use of language and how the words sounds together. Think of it like nursery rhymes. Many of them don't make sense but they are fun to say.
I can't believe this book is two years old. Where does time go? It seems like it is time to get another book ready for Kindle. It feels like months since I released one. I do have some in the works. I am hoping once, I finished with school (just two more weeks) I will get back into a writing routine.
If you get the book, why not leave a review. It would mean the world to me.
Here is a sample poem that was sourced from a Stephen King novel. Enjoy....
Some Time or Another, We’ve All Been There
I could see arrangements
in the blind bathroom-
the insectile sound
of nothing there
the October hospital
happened across the pavement
and spiders at three o’ clock
And yet
I remade my bed early.
it occurred to me-
yesterday I over laid
the expensive water
and tumbled over my Joyland dream.
