i've been trying my hand at songwriting by adapting my poems into songs but i'm honestly having the most fun turning some of my favorite poems into songs for shits and gigs. especially fun quirky ones

📖It just started as a boredom thing, finding fun rhymes and making funny connections between words.
But now I have really begun to enjoy it. I put time off to sit and think, about ways to make a message come to life, in an indirect way. And it doesn’t have to have a deep meaning at all, the little things in life also need attention just as the big things do. I hope someone sees this and decides to give poems a try♥️

🔊Lately, I've been spending my time on the train repeating poems over and over until I know them rather well. Then I come home, and I repeat them over and over to my partner until I know it by heart and they know it rather well. Now, we're both walking around playing a game called poetry juke-box. There's seldom a winner and only a sliver of pride on the line each time we play.

✍️trying my hand at this poetic form called glosa (an old Spanish poetic form) and I’m planning on writing 80 or so lines in the next few days or so. Writing poetry is so rewarding, but I tend to stick to shorter poems.
this poetic form explicitly quotes a poem or other source and uses a quatrain (four line chunks) as a wellspring for the ending lines for four ten-line stanzas. I’m challenging myself by basically doing a longer quotation of eight lines and writing eight ten-line stanzas (with maybe a couplet at the end for emphasis). It’s gonna be a challenge but I can’t wait to finish it and share the end result with yall :)

☀️here are some things I've done in my 20s that were a blast:
- learned to fly a kite (flying a kite as an adult is the best - i recc doing it at the beach if you can manage it, more wind there)
- recreating one of the showstopper bakes from the Great British Bake Off (it absolutely sucked but was really fun haha who knew baking was an exact science?)
- bought some blank white shelves and invited all my friends over to paint them
- attend a workshop at the library (i went to one that taught me how to pickle vegetables!)
- make a perfect summer playlist, burn it on CDs, give it out to friends
- make a different kind of lemonade/iced tea every week (i really looked forward to opening my fridge every day when I was doing this)
- buy a book of poetry and spend so so so long going through the pages and illustrating the poem in the margins (or doodle whatever)
- find a local pizzeria/bar that does open mics and go listen to the performers with some friends (why not? pizza? music? and lots to talk about!)
- make shaved ice at home! (or home made ice cream if you're feeling particularly bold)
- go listen to your municipal band play at the park
- figure out whats in season in your region produce wise and challenge yourself to make dinner just from what you can find at a farmers market or something
