It's April, a.k.a. national poetry month a.k.a the month where I try to write a poem every day.
Who is with me?
I will be posting them here: http://wordsthatloiter.blogspot.de/

Ambitious, Jane, and a pledge I hope you most devoutly keep.
i'm strangely tempted though i don't do poetry. perhaps that's the reason. if i can come up with something today i will post at "B(o)lloggs", my secret hideaway deep in the Cotswolds: http://marcusspeh.tumblr.com — and if i can do it today i can do it every day, right?
I write a poem a day all year long.
Gary, devoutly is the right word for it. This will be the fourth year I've done this and it is my favourite thing to put my brain in a good place for the year.
Marcus: yes, do it do it, tumblr it all!
And wow James, that's impressive. Maybe you can do two a day for April...
Nah, one a day (most days, anyway) is enough. 300+ poems in a year is plenty. There are stories and novels to write as well.
I write a flash fiction every day all year long. Most lately have been posted here and my blog http://queruloussquirreldaily.blogspot.com/ I am not a poet though I've tried, but I think some of my microfiction borders on prose poetry. So I don't know if that means I join you Jane or not.
I've written
14,000 poems a day
for the last
12,000
years
Well, I write about twenty-five poems a year, if I'm lucky. I admire and salute you all. Have at it.
I tried NaPoMo last year but dropped out. There's no way I can write a poem a day - just can't do it. Inspiration doesn't come easy for me, unfortunately.
Kudos to you, Jane! I'll be reading.
Inspiration doesn't come easy for me, either. I work hard at it.
Gloria, whack in some line breaks?
Thanks Charlotte and Joani, I suspect they will be highly variable but a lot of fun to make up!
I'll be reading your works, Jane. Eagerly.
You and Tumblr both, Crime Dawg.
