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!

i like laura’s idea about having a NaPoWriMoMoMo…it would keep me motivated, too.

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!!)

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!

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!

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.

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.

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.

Correction – I have 20 poems. I hope to have 30 by the end of the month.

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.

I have 129 as of writing nothing this morning.

I probably have at least thirty that are worth anything.

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 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!!!!!

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.
