Day-26
NaPoWriMo-2026
Prompt: Today, we challenge you to write your own ars poetica, giving the reader some insight into what keeps you writing poetry, or what you think poetry should do.
The deep gorge inked with pain
Brings to the surface an array of words
Woven, silken threads of wants and desires
The pen gets dipped in their fluid moments
One by one, floating on the abyss of lost time
Picking up the threads of self-conscious efforts
Writing the emotions on a blank canvas helps
To erase all the accumulated dark secrets.
Words are like flowers, fragrant and healing
It doesn't need any meter, style, rhyme, or rhythm
Poetry brings peace, a catharsis to a restless heart.
