Poetry Exercises
Coming up throughout the month of April will be the Official DeepUnderground NaPo/GloProWriMo challenge hosted by Ahavati and me.

2017 > https://deepundergroundpoetry.com/forum/competitions/read/9560/
2018 > https://deepundergroundpoetry.com/forum/competitions/read/10143/
Though the accustomed challenge only requires one poem daily for 30 days straight - during 2017 I wrote 150 poems and Ahavati wrote the equivalent of 120. Each were a minimum of "50 unique words" in length. No simple blurts or haikus allowed.
Participate and you'll get plenty of exercise guaranteed as you write your ass off and post at least one poem per day. Stay tuned and we'll supply you with tips on how to stay productive daily without faling behind.

Can anyone recommend any books containing poetry exercises?
Hi! ^-^
Not sure if this will be helpful, but when I feel like I really want to study writing, I read books and essays on poetry critique. (and of course, writing a lot also helps xD)
would recommend:
The Sacred Wood
Essays on Poetry and Criticism By T.S. Eliot
( https://www.bartleby.com/200/ )
