    April 17 - 24

    A great week of poems! I like them all for varying reasons, but particularly liked the rhythm and meter of April 22nd. I also enjoyed the birdsong, and you nailed the feelings with the last one. I'm going to guess the student poem is #20.

    Chapter 4 Week 3

    I'm glad you finished the week The mirror poem particularly struck me. I can picture it clearly.
  4. I like the first line challenge. I'll have to give it a go and see what I can come up with. I'll definitely check out the sub-genre challenge too.
  5. Penguins like to gambol

    Writing Course

    Sounds like it will be a great experience! I look forward to seeing your thoughts about it.
  7. Another amazing week. Yes, writing poetry is much better than doomscrolling. I can't pick a favorite, but I loved the descriptions of the months and the one of the old age prompt. I think we all do. I'm always in awe of Parker's ability to use form and meter.

    Week 2

    This is a fantastic week of poems! I love the wind sonnet and the love poems. It's hard to pick a favorite. Well done, Wolfie
  9. *cracks knuckles * I think I may have to write a sonnet about the gunk from the sink drain

    Thank you so much He's had a pretty good week, so I've been enjoying the time we have left together.
  11. Well that was... uneggspected I couldn't resist That was definitely not a direction I saw this prompt going, so kudos! Great job! I'm going to go look for eggs now
  12. I love this story, like I love all of Rob Colton's stories. He's one of the few authors I can read over and over. Great review!

    Thank you so much It's a tough month, but writing these is helping me process everything.
  16. Around the Bend – NaPoWriMo 2022 Week One #1 Snow-capped shoots bend earthward Until the sun frees them from their shackles And they spring forth. Prompt: Spring into poetry #2 As I held a warm hand, now going cold, I realized that the past was irrelevant. The only thing that existed was the now, The moment of seeing life with utter clarity. And realization that time is meaningless. Prompt: Eyes: Look
  17. Life is full of twists and turns, both expected and unexpected, wondrous and excruciating. This year’s poems for National Poetry Writing Month will embrace the curveballs life throws at us and also serve as an exploration and raw portrayal of the grieving process. Follow me, and we’ll see what’s around the bend.
  18. I don't really have any in-depth comments, but I enjoyed all of these. I always enjoy reading the different takes on the prompts.

    Week 1

    You already know my thoughts on these, but I think 3 and 5 are my favorites. And the dogs, of course
  20. It feels like this month just started, but we're already starting the second week of National Poetry Writing Month. Check out the collections that have been posted already. Maybe they'll inspire you to give it a try yourself. Or maybe taking a look at the beautiful creek Aditus provided us with will stir some poetic musings. PT Prompt #37 - Poetry Write a poem about taking a walk along this creek. PT Prompt #38 - Creative It's Easter morning and you wake up to find colorful eggs hidden throughout your house. The problem is, you don't have any children and live alone. Who left the eggs and why?
  21. The lickspittle fawns over the deposed despot in LPW
  22. OMG I did the same thing when I was a kid! I have a phobia of bees that's gotten worse over the years. I've never cared for them ever since the foot incident, but now I'll do a screaming Kermit the Frog flailing run away from anything remotely stingy. Oh, and my mom is allergic and terrified of bees too, so I guess part of it is learned behavior.
  23. Great interview! I haven't read this story, but my interest is definitely piqued.
