Colleen M. Chesebro—Prose Metrist
Crafting Syllabic Poetry is my Ikigari 💜One day, I stumbled across the Japanese word Ikigari. After some research, I discovered iki means life. In Japanese, Gai means worth or value. When these words combine, they form the definition of ikigari, which is life’s worth. It’s often translated or interpreted as a reason for getting up in the morning. So, yes, writing syllabic poetry is my ikigari.
I also believe writing syllabic poetry strengthens our writing skills. When we create poetry, we gain command of language; cultivate a healthy vocabulary, master literary devices such as metaphor, simile, alliteration, hyperbole, and allegory. We learn to work in imagery. We connect with our ikigari.
When I’m not writing poetry or crafting short stories, you’ll find me digging in my garden, or playing with my two unicorn cats, Chloe & Sophie. I live in East Lansing, Michigan with my husband—my soul mate. Most days you can find me writing poetry on wordcraftpoetry.com. 💜

I felt your words, Erika. For me that is pure poetry! I loved the photos you included also! <3
Thank you. I am glad you liked the pictures. Sometimes it takes me more time to find fitting pictures than writing the whole poem. Thank you for the wonderful compliment, Colleen 🙂 🙂
