~~~~~Challenge #2: 91 Days of Tiny Verse~~~~~

09 Dec, 2025

Hello "dear ones",

It's really so good to be back. I missed writing poetry, its absence in my days palpable. So excited to embark on this new soujourn of minstrelsy with you 💘

Today is the day.

The practice of writing an essay has made me feel SO vulnerable and raw, I needed to RUN back into the safe and cozy arms of poetic expression before I called the whole thing off!!! 😏 (UPDATE: bored of essays and s-stack. essay mission on hiatus. Poetry forever...)

The "rules":

• 91 poems in 91 days, starting today, December 9^th, 2025 — March 9^th, 2025
• Poetic form must be 4 lines or less. (EDIT: or not)
• No generated prompts anymore! I am going purely by intuition, or, letting myself be gracefully informed by environment.
• I will keep the "Listening to" component, that's always fun. I find the best music when I am prepping to write 🎶🎵

I will be practicing some or none of following forms, in no particular order:

• Epigram / Aphorism
• Monostich / One-liner
• Quatrain
• Triplet
• Couplet
• Mondo
• Haiku
• Lune
• Clou
• Micropoem (tiny narrative)
• Fragment poem

Potentially more as I discover them — I am so excited AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!🙀

First poem to be posted later this afternoon.

I am grateful to be sharing this poetic path with you. Who will we be in 91 days?! 😈💋

Love & SLAY (Speak-Love-All-Ways 🙄),
