Hook Can you write a Scifaiku, Limericks, or any type of poem about any unusual creature or character? About this Newsletter Happy NaPoWriMO Letter from the Editor Where do ideas for fantasy poems come from? Everywhere you look has an idea for a fantasy poem if you let your imagination wander over the possibilities and impossibilities. For example, I wrote the following poem when I was living in a house with a tree in the front yard. At dawn in late winter and early spring, she stands outside my living room window watching me, her eyes and mouth knots in the stone pine tree. Her high forehead denotes intelligence, the tree limbs, her arms, are raised to embrace the morning light or wave in the dawn wind. She smiles, she speaks, her voice the wind whispering through green pine needles. An Ent-wife lives in my front yard, bound in the city soil waiting for an army of Ents to come marching down the black asphalt avenue to free her. Look out your window, take a walk around the block, or observe the interactions of human beings with technology; let your imagination look at those observations, and see what you come up with. Write a poem about what you saw, but place it in a different setting. Answer the questions who, what, when, where, why, and how from the point of view of a mythological character or an alien from a different part of the universe. Challenge: Write a fantasy or science fiction poem about something you observe. Submit it to this newsletter by May 10, 2018. I will place anything with an 18+ or below rating in the newsletter. The my favorite will receive an awardicon. Editor's Picks
