Site Administrator Popular Post Valkyrie Posted April 1, 2016 Site Administrator Popular Post Posted April 1, 2016 April is National Poetry Writing Month and I am going to attempt to complete it this year. The idea is to write one poem per day for the month of April. I tried it last year, but only got a week in before I got a nasty case of the flu that sidelined me for a while. Fingers crossed that it doesn't happen again this year! I'll be posting weekly so I don't have too many poetry 'chapters'. Who else is up for the challenge? 8
Mikiesboy Posted April 2, 2016 Posted April 2, 2016 Good luck! I look forward to reading what you come up with!! 2
Cynus Posted April 2, 2016 Posted April 2, 2016 Nice. I think I could do this, as long as free verse counts. NaNoWriMo is what started me as a writer, so I suppose I should give its sibling a chance. 3

I kind of like it, considering how little time I spent on it. I'm going to add it to "Musings of a Mongoose". 3

I think weekly posting is a good idea.. Too bad this wasn't in the month I was off work!! I think I'll do this, mainly because I'm developing a new story but it needs time to poach in some duck fat and I need something else to occupy me. Edited April 2, 2016 by Mikiesboy 4

Dolores Esteban Posted April 2, 2016 Posted April 2, 2016 Thanks for the reminder. I'll try Found Poetry again this year. 1
Former Member Posted April 2, 2016 Posted April 2, 2016 I'm going to post a link to this thread on the 'Live-Poets' forum. I wonder, Val, will you feed us the daily prompts? Or maybe those interested can PM you to get them? 2
Site Administrator Valkyrie Posted April 2, 2016 Author Site Administrator Posted April 2, 2016 I can forward the email to anyone interested, or pm me for the email address of the person supplying the prompts. I don't feel comfortable posting them here without permission. 2
Mikiesboy Posted April 2, 2016 Posted April 2, 2016 I can forward the email to anyone interested, or pm me for the email address of the person supplying the prompts. I don't feel comfortable posting them here without permission. I found a blog that has prompts. ..glad they are optional! 2
Aditus Posted April 2, 2016 Posted April 2, 2016 I almost made it last year. I named it 'A Fool's Thoughts' and it can be found here, for those who are interested. Maybe I try again. It's only the second and my head feels good. 3

Mikiesboy Posted April 7, 2016 Posted April 7, 2016 (edited) My days 4 to 7 are here Day 7 Prompt is evil Our (optional) prompt for Day Seven comes to us from Gloria Gonsalves, who challenges us all to write atritina. The tritina is a shorter cousin to the sestina, involving three, three-line stanzas, and a final concluding line. Three “end words” are used to conclude the lines of each stanza, in a set pattern of ABC, CAB, BCA, and all three end words appear together in the final line. I will do it.. but not today.

Former Member Posted April 8, 2016 Posted April 8, 2016 The first week of NaPoWriMo. Nice assortment. Left you a review 2

I don't know about the Sestina and its ilk...I just don't know what the form is good at expressing; why a poet would choose it.... Maybe somebody can tell me? I love your first week's poems, Tim. I left you a review Edited April 8, 2016 by AC Benus 2
Site Administrator Valkyrie Posted April 10, 2016 Author Site Administrator Posted April 10, 2016 I love how many people are participating this year. I'll have to read your poems when I am feeling better, Dolores. I'm fighting off a cold and want to be able to properly appreciate them. 1

Maybe somebody can tell me? I love your first week's poems, Tim. I left you a review I don't know AC, what that form is good for. I wrote one, but the last words are repetitive and sound silly to me. I wouldn't choose it over any form I know. I think it's an exercise but in frustration only.
