Day 626: NaPoWriMo

For all those involved in the National Poetry Writing Month (NaPoWriMo) challenge - here's a great poem on how to write a poem.

 

A Loaf of Poetry -Koriyama Naoshi

you mix
the dough
of experience
with
the yeast
of inspiration
and knead it well
with love
and pound it
with all your might
and then
leave it
until
it puffs out big
with its own inner force
and then
knead it again
and
shape it
into a round form
and bake it
in the oven
of your heart.
