A New Book: Seasonal Memories

I haven't written any new limericks for my second limerick book but I got an idea for another book. The title will be Seasonal Memories. It will be solely a poetry book. There will be four sections, one for each season. The poems will have nature mixed in with memories of the past or something that previously happened. I am aiming for ten poems per section but may end up having more. I already have some poems written in each section and may edit them as I go over them later. 

Ten of the poems that I already wrote were all written on January 26th, 2021. I did not expect to write anything, especially since I had just gotten into bed. But an idea for a poem came to me and when I was done, more followed. I guess I was hit with inspiration. Had it not been after midnight, me being tired, or writing on my iPhone in the dark, I could've probably written more poems. But I will gladly take those ten. 

Update on My New Poetry Book

So this new book of poetry and lyrics that I am working on was originally supposed to be titled Frozen in Time. And I had already created a front cover for it. But now I am thinking that I will go with a different title. I am just not sure what that title will be. Of course, I may end up changing my mind and, if I do, I already have something to work with. 

Though I have some previously written pieces already in the book, most of the new stuff is something I've written from the prompts that I post every week on my Facebook writing group Creative Writers Spotlight. I wanted to challenge myself, and so that is the reason I am doing it. So far, it has been going quite well on that front. I am enjoying the writing and find it pretty easy, for the most part, to bring these prompts to life in poetic form. 

It would be awesome to have this book out before the summer is over, but I definitely want it to be out there before the end of the year. I don't have a whole lot more left to write as I want to keep this book under 130 pages. So, it shouldn't be a problem to finish everything by the end of summer. I just have to be consistent and keep on working on it on a regular basis.
