You asked for more challenges, so Local Gems is delivering! This time we have a unique challenge for you you won't find anywhere else, because the "Grid Poem" is a unique poetry form, invented by National Beat Poet Laureate of the US, and Local Gems Publisher, James P. Wagner (Ishwa)
This 7 day poetry challenge will introduce you to, and help you explore the Grid Poem, which is a great form that produces 2 poems each go around! It helps you look at word structure and order in ways you might not have previously and is a fun exercise that has helped spark plenty of creativity! If you are looking for inspiration, to learn something new, and for an interesting unique challenge, then this is the one for you.
Note: This will be the last Local Gems challenge of 2020!
