Symbolic Poem Writing Skills
Posted by CoSell member · Location-independent
I’ve been writing short, deeply symbolic poetry for the past two years. It started as a hobby, and now that I’m getting good at it, I’m curious where it could go: lyrics for a musician, words for an artist’s or photographer’s work, a small book or zine, cards or prints, a brand looking for a voice, a collaboration, or something I haven’t thought of?

imagine a hand-knit blanket with a little poem tag, makes a lovely gift, and a nice story to sell it with too

Given now you can create any visuals with AI I would go for the cards - it's something that is always needed and there are so many topics, seasons, events you need a card for and even though sure there are so many - if you're really good at writing you can have something that's unique and stands out.
Or you can even actually go completely AI free, even declare it as that - no AI just human words - and do cards that literally hit home just with the words. In a world full of AI maybe it's what people would appreciate more - human cards. In all cases, think of something that's you and unique to you - it will make it easier to stand out, stick to and work on when it gets hard, and also find your people who are probably out there already looking.
Following my idea below, maybe check with this CoSeller - a website for that will be a good start

A photographer could pair a small series of images with poems written specifically for them. Start with one shared theme and six pieces, then test a limited print or zine. You each contribute original work, and the finished collection has a clearer identity than separate words and pictures.
