Participating in The Daily Create has become one of my favorite creative routines. Every prompt gives me a chance to think differently, express myself, and have fun doing it. The best part is that it doesn’t take long, just a few minutes of creativity can completely change my mood for the day.

For one of the recent challenges, #tdc5037K – Write a Poetic Love Poem to the Daily Shoot, I wrote a poem called “I Love the Daily Create.” It’s a lighthearted and repetitive piece that captures my genuine enthusiasm for these assignments. I wanted it to sound playful and sincere, with a rhythm that reflects how much joy I get from participating.

I love the Daily Create

I love the Daily Create

I said I love, not hate

The assignments are great

Sometimes I look at it late

But I love the Daily Create 

I said I love, not hate

My poem was made to be sappy

After I wrote it, I was more happy

I love the Daily Create

I said I love, not hate

It takes me a few minutes to create

A poem about love, and not hate

I said I love the Daily Create

My love for it is great

just hope that I don’t post it too late

I love the Daily Create

I said I love, not hate 

Writing the poem made me realize how something as simple as a short creative task can inspire happiness and consistency. Even when I check the prompt late, I still find excitement in finishing and posting it. The Daily Create keeps my creativity alive, and each new task feels like a small adventure waiting to happen.

I’ve also enjoyed the recent Daily Create theme like #tdc5041, Make a Poster for An ‘Add a New Daily Create’ Campaign where we designed a poster to encourage others. to join the campaign.

My second daily create theme was #tdc5039, where we captured a photo of a tree for the “Back to the Dailyshoot” challenge.

Both daily creates gave me a chance to explore different forms of expression, writing and photography, while staying connected to the DS106 creative community.

Overall, The Daily Create continues to remind me why I love making art in any form. Whether it’s a poem, a picture, or something completely unexpected, it’s about showing up, having fun, and creating something new every day.
