I haven’t been feeling 100% the past few days so I’ve been slacking with writing but I didn’t want to fall behind with NaPoWriMo bc it’s truly the greatest joy in my life so here’s 2 for today!
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.
Today I stumbled upon the phrase "Eppur si muove" ("and yet it moves"), tenuously attributed to Galileo after being forced to recant his claims that the Earth moves around the Sun to avoid being punished by the church.
The impact and rhythm of the phrase really inspired me, so I wrote a poem about 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.
