Hello everyone,
I’m going to be travelling next week so I thought I’d make a quick post here about some WIP (work-in-progress) poems.
I usually take a very long time to get back to my online hobbies after a vacation. This time I’ll try to resume it sooner! 🫶
I have a poetry workbook titled One Poem a Day, by Nadia Hayes. Mine was a used copy that I got from World of Books.
I’ve been using a couple of workbooks to help me progress with my dragon poetry collection.
The way this one works is through a daily prompt. You can jump around or do them in chronological order. I tend to like jumping around with them.
I wrote these on the 17th March and the prompt was:
Write a 9-word poem about today’s weather.
It happened to be a very grey and rainy day, so here are some of the nine dragon-themed poems I wrote based on the above prompt.
9-Word Dragon Poems
- grey mist like a lurking dragon’s plume of smoke
- tear-stained windows after a wind dragon’s late night rampage
- mist over mountain, high above the dragon’s hidden cavern
- rain—calico kitten, curled up beside a pink dragon plush
- cracks on glistening tarmac—battle-weary dragon’s underbelly
- a glimpse of sunlight over the charred dragon’s rock
Not all of these may be exactly nine words, but I’ve decided to post works-in-progress here and there.
Otherwise I’m going to take forever to try and edit and polish everything which will be very time-consuming.
I’m planning on finalizing my packing over the weekend for my upcoming 2-week trip.
I’ll try to take some dragon photos if I can, as I’ve usually done in my previous trips to museums and other cool places.
So I’ll see you when I get back. Take care!
