2018 April PAD Challenge: Day 23

For today’s prompt, write an action Poem. So many actions are available to the poet: singing, running, clapping, working, and–umm–poeming. Yes, there’s a world of possibility today–all ready to act.

Re-create Your Poetry!

Revision doesn’t have to be a chore–something that should be done after the excitement of composing the first draft. Rather, it’s an extension of the creation process!

In the 48-minute tutorial video Re-creating Poetry: How to Revise Poems, poets will be inspired with several ways to re-create their poems with the help of seven revision filters that they can turn to again and again.

Here’s my attempt at an Action Poem:

“if you dance”

& if you dance, then i will too–
though i can’t tell my left from right,
all through the night, i’ll stay by you
& if you dance, then i will too,
because my faith in you is true
& i’m a moth drawn to your light–
so if you dance, then i will too,
though i can’t tell my left from right
