April is apparently National Poetry Month—just in time for me to read more poetry like I’ve been wanting to.
According to Goldsmiths University of London, just reading a poem during a break can enhance free-flowing associative thought. This is the ability to fluidly connect ideas and come up with new ideas.
Distraction is abundant and deep thinking is becoming scarce. Poetry has also been known to help people connect to and appreciate beauty in a more meaningful way. As creative people, I think we could all benefit from reading more poems!

trying my hand at this poetic form called glosa (an old Spanish poetic form) and I’m planning on writing 80 or so lines in the next few days or so. Writing poetry is so rewarding, but I tend to stick to shorter poems.
this poetic form explicitly quotes a poem or other source and uses a quatrain (four line chunks) as a wellspring for the ending lines for four ten-line stanzas. I’m challenging myself by basically doing a longer quotation of eight lines and writing eight ten-line stanzas (with maybe a couplet at the end for emphasis). It’s gonna be a challenge but I can’t wait to finish it and share the end result with yall :)

because life is more than what you do to pay bills, and no one deserves to feel unsafe and underpaid in a work place (yes i am terrified but it’s okay)

i don’t want to have a “thick skin” about everything, maybe we should all just be nicer to each other. when did we come up with the concept that being sensitive is bad? i’m sensitive and i like it. the world doesn’t have to hit me and i just get back up, maybe i will cry a little bit.
