Hello Poetry Geniuses,
This week, I wanted to share something a little different: a poem that explores the complex intersection of creativity and commerce, using a distinctive style that you might find intriguing.
This is a unique style, perfected by Rupi Kaur, and you might want to try writing a few of your own poems in this style.
This piece examines the idea of making money from writing poetry, through the lens of a modern approach, with a slightly acerbic twist. It borrows stylistic elements from the work of Rupi Kaur, which I will detail below, to give it a unique aesthetic and impact.
As I personally make a very good living personally by writing poetry professionally, I thought the subject matter was fittng.
I think you might find this way of writing to be a useful tool when thinking about your own approach to poetic forms. Give it a try yourself.
I hope you find it thought-provoking, and that it might inspire some new approaches in your own creative writing practice.
Enjoy!
the poet and the profit
In the style of Rupi Kaur
