Poetry

// The gateway to the most moderate, mediocre poetry you're yet to read.

So, the menu was getting a bit out of hand with the layout, and the page impression isn't all that great (it's not exactly shit-hot on mobile). In order to make things cleaner-ish, a landing page has been added¹.

Here's your basic links, and some extra full about them. I've removed a page because that fluff is now here.

Poem Challenged - Explained

// Because why make things easy for myself?

Why?

Good question! I don't know. It felt kind a nice/decent way to vent my frustrations and also challenge me. My partner has been playing wordle, and it's just been interesting watching some of the words we've been using to deduce the answer. I wouldn't say that this is "my wordle", but it is kind of my word game to play.

Ok, so, now what?

Well, I started with the May challenge (because it's May when I started it). The goal being that I would have a poem for each day of the month. The challenge is a bit lax, so I don't need to write one each day (as that's not quite the challenge I am after), but to have one for each day. So I could write several in one sitting if that works out well for me.

What can I say? Some days the creative juices have all but dried up, other days it pours. Considering that I do work full time, I felt that I'd be doing myself a disservice and not have my priorities right if I didn't put the rest of my world first.

How long do you plan on doing this?

Not sure. I do want to see May through. I'm tossing with the idea of back-dating a few months as well though.
