My beginning Writing Practice

Post (C) Doris McCraw

aka Angela Raines

When I decided to get serious about writing, I began a writing practice that I followed for about three years. I would write a Haiku and post a photo before midnight at least five days a week. Over the course of that practice, I wrote a lot of poems.  

It also showed me what I was capable of when I was disciplined. Below are three examples. I hope you enjoy. What is your go-to writing practice? (I still write poetry when I'm feeling stuck.)

See the wind talking
Trees and grasses say so much
Telling tales of life.

Stretched across distant stars
Moon plays hide and seek

This could be heaven.

Picture-perfect start of day

All in perspective


Until next time

  3. Congrats on pursuing writing. I remember starting a carpet cleaning company and feeling completely overwhelmed. Good luck on your successful writing career.
