Prompt: Write a love poem without identifying the beloved or declaring your feelings.
Today’s poem is here.
Today’s reading: ‘Dreams are important to me – and sometimes they can be powerful. A dream, however, is not a poem. One has to be very careful when using dream material in a poem. There’s always the danger that the dream fails to come to life within the poem or that the dream doesn’t allow the poem to acquire the freedom it needs in order to become a poem in its own right. Myths pose similar problems.’ – Sujata Bhatt [in an interview on publisher Carcanet’s website, available 2018 but removed 2020]
