Day 17
On April 17, 2014
Hello, all, and welcome back for Day 17.
Today’s featured journal is Vinyl, which has published NaPoWriMo-er Alana I Capria. Vinyl is part of Yes-Yes Books, and publishes both a magazine and chapbooks.
our featured participant for Day 17 is The Robust Epicurean, where you’ll find a series of abecedarian haiku.
Today’s (optional) prompt is to write a poem in which you very specifically describe something in terms of at least three of the five senses. So, for example, your poem could carefully describe the smell of something, the taste of something, and the sound of something. It might be helpful to pick things you have actually encountered during your day: a cup of coffee at the office (“burnt, flat, and joylessly acrid”), or a hyacinth in the neighobr’s yard (“riotously curled petals shading violet-lavender-white, against the dark-green glossy-smooth leaves”). Happy writing!
