I’ve never quite done anything like the work I’m doing for NaPoWriMo this year: a set of poems (all in different forms, so far) spoken by the characters in a tale which unfolds as the poems are written. Trying to keep the voices distinct and consistent, working with different meters and forms, trying to keep all the plot lines going — I get surprised mid-poem — it’s a gas!
I’ve posted the ninth poem here (scroll down to the bottom), in which it transpires that it was no accident Sue overheard Jack and Hank discussing the outcome of their bet (back up near the top — I really should add anchors). You can hear this and all the previous poems here.
