Poetry Challenge 2009 – A change in writing?

Is it just me or this the way such a challenge works? I can definitely feel a change in my writing after this first week. I put more thoughts into the poems and start constructing them. Before that I merely wrote them down as they came up in my head. I don’t know yet if that change is a good thing, and I neither can assess if my poems are becoming better now. But I have fun and will get on with the challenge. I am really keen on experience where it will take me! Maybe I should participate in the novel challenge in November, hmmmm.
