Day 18 ~ How to write a “Wishing Poem” for #NationalPoetryMonth ~ "30 poems in 30 days"

Everyone has been sharing such great poems in our poetry FB group and elsewhere online, as a result of this annual poetry challenge. So, today, on a busy Saturday – let’s make a wish!! Cheers!

There are so many varieties of “wishing poems” that, basically, today’s poems will most likely end up as free verse. OR, use any poetry format we have used this year or previous years to define your wishing poem.

Typically, they will start with the two words, “I wish. . .” but as long as it is about wishing and the word wish appears at least once, you will have written a wishing poem.

If you want to do a search for “wishing poems,” you will find so many and such a variety, but it might be fun to do so to help you get started, or maybe you already have an idea of where you want to go with this.

This is one of MANY wishing poetry suggestion sites: https://poemsworld.net/poems-about-wishes/

Here’s your free rein to do it your way. Cheers!!

*** Also, if you choose to post your poems on your own blog or elsewhere on social media ~ that’s awesome. But PLEASE don’t just copy and paste my daily instructions, but rather post your poem on your blog or your FB wall or wherever AND LINK BACK TO EACH DAY’S SPECIFIC BLOG POST for others to come here to read the instructions. I’ve spent considerable time researching the poetry forms and writing them up to share with you. Thanks for respecting my work.
