I wear no wizard’s pointy hat
But keep a cauldron and a cat
And cook up spells that don’t pan out.
Though poor and ugly, I’ve no doubt
That with the right ingredients
My endless toil and great expense
Will win me fortune, fame and gold…
They’re tasty too (or so I’m told).
I really enjoyed the style I tried yesterday (with spacial elements, to be read in multiple directions), so I did that again today and paired it with yesterday's NaPo prompt of naming the poem after a song.
Does anyone happen to know if there's a name for this style of poetry, with lots of spacial elements? Would appreciate it if you could let me know, I'd love to do more research on it.
I was talking to someone recently about how I think and communicate, and they said I seem like a “kinesthetic learner,” so I wanted to write a poem that’s (mostly) pure feeling.
If you’re not a mega nerd like me, then you might not know: a dirge is a “death march,” a hymnal poetry form used to lament the dead, typically written to be performed at a funeral.
