You've probably heard of NaNoWriMo, National Novel Writing Month. Poets.org has adapted the challenge for poets, who are encouraged to write a poem a day during the month of April and post them on their blogs or on the NaPoWritMo website. It's a hefty challenge, but I'm going to try it. Anybody else game? Feel free to share your poems here if you'd like. Or put a link to your blog in the comments area. I'd love to have some company.
Now I just have to write that first poem......(no cheating and using old stuff.)

A poem a day?
ReplyDeleteGosh-- I only write haiku.
They are short but sweet!
:)
Haiku is poetry. You can do it!
ReplyDeleteAw... did you even notice my response was in haiku? Heehee.
ReplyDeleteOk, I wrote a limerick today because another blogger was trying to rhyme things with "Dimitri":
ReplyDeleteThere once was a man named Dimitri,
Whose conversation revolved around pleasantry.
His demeanor, amicable...
His manners, impeccable!
A true gentleman of the bourgeoisie.
I'm a bad poet.
ReplyDeleteDidn't notice the haiku.
I feel so foolish.
I never would have thought to rhyme Dimitri with bourgeoisie. Brilliant.
ReplyDeleteHere's my limerick.
There once was a poet named Carol
who found herself over a barrel.
Though she tried and tried
her brain was just fried,
And her poem a day was in peril.
Limericks are just plain fun to write, aren't they? :)
