Developing a writing career necessitates an understanding of formal grammar and usage, but these rules are ultimately social constructs that can be altered or broken for specific purposes.

This trend is also prevalent in contemporary poetry, as evidenced by poets who only use lowercase letters.
According to Chinese custom, prior to the big day, you should clean as much as you can to ensure good fortune in the new year. This denotes a new beginning and the removal of bad luck or negative emotions from the previous year. The poem "Cleaning an Attic" by Brent Pallas is perfect for this topic because the speaker sorts through old memories to decide which ones to keep and which to discard. It's possible that doing your own cleaning will make your home sparkle, but it doesn't have to. It could also entail letting go of any negative energy you've been carrying around inside.
Godfred Melody (MG): During the pandemic, I wrote The Shift. I used it as a means of coping with the overwhelming changes we've all gone through and the unpredictability of the future. The beauty of these poems is that they don't just talk about being happy and choosing positivity; in fact, half of them are primarily about having strong, difficult feelings. However, in addition to feeling these emotions, I also offer my own transformative shifts forward in order to design a life based on love rather than fear. From fear to love, from resistance to surrender, and from isolation to community, the collection offers transformative perspectives.
