We’ve made a NaPoWriMo celebration button that you are most welcome to add to your blog. (Although I’d rather toast your success or commiserate a less-than-planned outcome!).

Well, you’re near the end of April, of National Poetry Month, of NaPoWriMo!
 
Sigh…in relief, remorse, resolution…
Some of you have practiced writing daily and some have posted a poem daily. Some have made up your own rules and kept them or broken them. Some (like me) found you couldn’t stay with daily writing early on.
Some have [...]

Here, below, is a list of poet’s (by blog name) who said they were participating in NaPoWriMo this year. I added everyone who commented or who emailed. It might be that you’ve langished since (it’s okay…I’m afraid I am have, too) the initial excitement phase. You wrote some poetry. That is good.

9 to 5 poet [...]

Read Write Poem’s chain poem, which a few have donated a line towards, is here:

Aunt April
Flowered mesh captures hair floating above sun-glassed eyes
She sneaked the harsh Chinese cigarettes
Striking the match on the bottom of her shoe
Her cloyingly touch caused my brother to seethe
She changed her name and learned to swim
Rolled her hips and shimmied [...]

It’s post time at Read Write Poem, this week about aunts you have know, or others - familiar or unfamiliar.
Or maybe you wrote about something else entirely. We care less about what got you started than reading what you wrote. Actually, we do like to hear what got you started. We like all things poetry-related, [...]

This week’s prompt is aunt, simply because today is my favorite aunt’s birthday. I call her Aunt B (for Barbara), but she is also known as Babs, Barbie, Sissy, Mom, Mother, Grams, Grandma, Grandmother and Mrs. Linn.
Perhaps you have a favorite aunt (or uncle or cousin). But then, so many families are crazy (fun or [...]

Carolee is taking a little time off to be with her family this week, so I am stepping in to give you a place to talk about the current poll, should you want to.
We had a lot of voting in response to this week’s question: “Who in your ‘real life’ knows that you’re a poet?”
As [...]

Hi everyone. I thought I’d check in and see how you’re doing. So how are you doin’?
We’ve been kinda busy around here, and I thought you might like an overview of what’s been happening and what’s in the works.

On keeping up with the action:
We have a request from paisley (and maybe others would like [...]

I’m glad you’re here, reading this prompt.
Participating in online poetry communities is a strange and interesting experience. It’s a private practice made uniquely public. It’s quite likely that only a comparative few will read the work we put out there in the blogosphere; fewer still will comment. Yet we keep finding and creating sites like [...]
