Today, I received "The Poet's Companion," and I decided to start reading it and possibly start writing a poem. As I mentioned in a previous post, it's been quite a few years since I last wrote a poem. I used to write poetry weekly when I attended poetry workshops with the VSA arts, a group that I have been involved with since 2003. Even though I haven't been able to participate in anything with them because of school and work, I enjoyed attending the poetry workshops and sharing a new poem every week with them.
I'm probably going to be a little rusty with poetry because I've been away from it for a while, but I'm sure that once I start, I'll know exactly what to do. I've got two weeks (since Spring Break is next week, even though for me, it started at around 1:30 this afternoon), so I'll have plenty of time to work on it. I'll also have time to re-read The Poet's Companion a couple of times.
