April is National Poetry Writing Month (NaPoWriMo), which is why we choose to feature our poetry anthology then.  What is NaPoWriMo? It's a time to honor all things poetic and also to encourage people to give writing it a try.  Like National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo) in November, there's a challenge to be attempted.  Write thirty poems in thirty days.  Several site members have tackled this challenge, and continue to do so.  The goal isn't to write perfect poetry, but simply to get something on paper.  There will be some gems and some duds, but completing the goal is quite the accomplishment.  

We have two and a half weeks left till the deadline to submit poems for the Choices anthology.  Plenty of time to get writing and send in a submission.  And then think about keeping the momentum going, and giving NaPoWriMo a go.
