How to Write Love Poems that Haunt(February-March-April 2026)
-
Do you ever experience the same heartbreak over & over? The same wound clawed open, just by different people? We will write love poems. Love poems that are subversive. Love poems that don't just kiss, but also bite and teethe and claw. Poems that can't be packed into squares of neat, sentimental boxes. This workshop is a part of my writing community, Wildflowers are Prayers. You can join us in monthly, or quarterly plans.

You don't need to be a published poet to write poems that go right to a reader's heart. You just have to excavate the wilderness of your own life. Do you want your grief to be alchemised into a gift? We’ll write poems that sneak up the skin of a reader. Great poetry doesn't just articulate a wound. It IS the wound. A cry. A prayer screamed in hunger. If you're haunted by loneliness, by someone's absence, or the what ifs' of your life—if you long to harness that haunting into writing: join us now.

Here's what you'll learn: • Craft poems that create a lingering impact. That are subversive + achingly real. • Challenge conventional gender roles & norms through your writing. • Master the craft + technical tools of poetry: writing from the body (& not just the mind), dream-writing, using effective line breaks, finding the "duende" - the soul of your poem. • Turn your personal wounds into transformative, long-lasting art. This workshop is for you if: • You're haunted by loneliness, loss, or the "what ifs" of life. • You want to harness your pain and transform it into something beautiful and meaningful. • You're ready to write poems that are honest, vulnerable, and unforgettable.

It's clear Trivarna puts her heart and soul into this community. She offers encouragement and validation to every participant, whether they are reading a poem out loud, sharing their draft work, or offering their insights and reactions to the example poems.

Excellent. Trivarna creates such a safe, nurturing space to grow and learn and develop. I felt very supported by her and the group both. It felt like a place to rest and from that place of rest to be able to explore - and that is the very definition of feeling absolutely safe. Additionally, she is extremely knowledgeable, so she has very much to share by way of resources, readings, prompts, feedback, etc. Her gentle spirit is a gift.

I would highly recommend this workshop. Trivarna creates a warm open environment in which to share thoughts and ideas, but also prompts you to dig deeper, and guides you in exploring your own experiences to create emotional resonance. She doesn't just tell, she shows.

It made me so happy to hear people read out their poems, and then, to see Trivarna, hang on every word, repeat them, send them into the universe, like prayers. To share your writing here is to have a meal, by a river, on a tree, the warmth of caring is felt no matter what. Gratitude and goodwill flow through this group. I will always be grateful for this space.
- Akriti Goel, Writer & Teacher
