When searching for poems to quote on writing a poem everyday, I came across this that talks about undertaking exactly this challenge, only the writer Kwame Dawes is a prolific and experienced poet who did this for a different reason. I am aware that this is not a new idea. While searching for tips and tricks about succeeding such a challenge, I came to know that April is poetry month and a 30 day poetry challenge is done every year in April. However, it’s June already and I don’t want to wait almost a year to practice my craft. So, I chose to do this challenge in July, 2021.

I have always been captivated by poetry. I used to think that all that rhymes is poetry. Soon, I found out that is very very far from the truth. Rhymes are not always poetry. Likewise, poetry doesn’t always have to rhyme. In fact, I understood very recently that rhymes, meter, caesura and so on a...

I am giving myself the liberty to post bad poems. All the poems will be written from the heart but my words don’t always co-operate with me. But if I sought for perfection in every poem, I doubt that I’d even post one poem.
The ultimate goal of this challenge is simply to have 30 poems at t...

But, I can write too. I cannot write good. But I too pour my passion into my words. It is my shortcoming that the passion doesn’t reach the readers. That is why, I need to improve.
