How does the challenge work?
I’ll be using words as prompts for the first 20 days. I chose the final prompts and their order with an online random chooser from the prompts my family and friends gave me. Here’s the 20 prompts:
For the last ten days, I will decide the topic on my own. As a very indecisive person these last 10 days would be the most difficult for me.
I’ll post each poem each day as a seperate blog post. Along with the poem, the post will contain an “author’s thoughts” explaining the poem and the theme or providing any relevant information.

What is poetry?
The spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings: it takes its origin from emotion recollected in tranquility.

A poem- technique or emotion?
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...

The ultimate goal of this challenge is simply to have 30 poems at t...

An ant with passion
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.
