At the end of the month, or maybe mid-May, when you’ve relaxed a bit, we’ll ask you if you will be stopping by to visit Read Write Poem for ideas, information or prompts post-NaPoWriMo. (There is an end to April, dear poets!)
We’ll also ask you what would help next year, and if there is a next year for your NaPoWriMo project. But you can comment now if you can’t wait until May.

Also me, as it turns out. A haiku every day. Sounds easy.
Didn’t tell anyone, I guess, just tried to do it, which is hard enough, as it turns out. Matter o’ fact, I have 52 minutes left today to come up with a new ‘ku.
Gotta go.
i have exceeded (39 as of today)the thirty poems already,, and they are spread out over three of my blogs,, but i participated,, and linked to you guys on every post… i didn’t know we were supposed to tell you in comment or email,,, guess i wasn’t paying attention that day!!!!!
Poem on, Shelley! Good for you. I think haiku are difficult, kudos to you.
And paisley, you are amazing. I just thought you were doing it to do it. I thought I read a comment somewhere that you weren’t specifically NaPoWriMo-ing…but, as always, you go above and beyond, rocking-poet-woman. My mistake!

I have 129 as of writing nothing this morning.
I probably have at least thirty that are worth anything.
I have managed one a day more or less. I missed a day but then made up for it by posting two so I have 30 poems. This has been very good for me as i usually edit extensively. Getting something down quickly has certainly loosened up my writing.
Correction - I have 20 poems. I hope to have 30 by the end of the month.
I am so impressed by everyone’s creative genius and dedication. I have 18 poems posted, can’t quite seem to get something out everyday. I’ve been trying to post also poems that are interesting to me, and hopefully others.
As of today, I have written a total of 54 poems in April, plus an article about Poetry and Teenage Boys.
I can’t stop! One night I arrived home late after parent-teacher interviews ( day at school as well) and just had to write a poem for the day before going to bed.
I think Iam developing some very serious kind of sickness. But it’s so much fun.
I’m trying to visit as many poet bloggers as possible to leave a comment as well.

yes, I want to continue with ReadWritePoem AFTER April. I had high hopes for myself when I started this challenge; but have had several days where I’ve felt unmotivated and perhaps have felt a form of ‘writers block”. I’ve ‘cheated’ a couple of times by using a line or 2 that I’ve contributed to the “Get Your Poem On”–so I didn’t really write a poem but counted those as my poems for the day. Also, I’m only up to #18 as of today, so I guess I could say I haven’t written a poem-a-day. But, I’m close…and am keeping up…just a couple of days behind schedule. I love all of this…it truly helps me to think about, and focus on, writing poetry.
Oh dear, I feel that I should be taken off of the list, as I have NOT been successful in writing every day this month. Far from it, in fact. I think I maybe made it five days in. I had a rather large event in my life that stopped me cold and I have yet to be able to manage poetry again (though I’m inching my way back towards it and hope to begin writing again soon). So much for lofty plans!
Well, TGR, me, too. I have fallen off the NaPoWriMo wagon completely.
But I think you - and I - should be pleased to have given it a whirl.
There is no shame here. Just life crashing in on well-intended plans.
Be well; no guilt!
I guess I am hopeless at understanding how it was I was supposed to be seen as a participant. *sigh* HOWEVER, I have written a poem and posted it on my site every day this month - today was my 24th post, probably 26th poem that can be qualified as at least a start. Thank you for the challenge - I may continue the daily practice into and through May - could you launch a support site napowrimomomo (more months) - I am goaded into writing by the sense of communal purpose. (I have not any unsettling anything to derail my dailiness - have been incredibly LUCKY!!)
i like laura’s idea about having a NaPoWriMoMoMo…it would keep me motivated, too.
[...] as I noted in the “participant list” post, here are a couple of questions. I’ll leave comments open for about 3 weeks (any [...]
I’ve posted a haiku every day and several other poems scattered around. I really appreciate the prompts, ideas and encouragement here! I’ll keep posting regular haiku and poetry in other forms along with book reviews, etc. Thanks for rounding us up!
Didn’t post a poem EVERY day . . . . but fairly close. Great motivator! Thanks!
Blessings,
Linda
