Sadly, April is coming to a close. If you were participating in NaPoWriMo, you’re seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. Maybe you feel exhausted by all of the writing or perhaps you’re exhilarated by all that you’ve accomplished. Either way, you only have a few more poems to go. Why not use some of these words, supplied by Nicole, to propel you to the finish line?
It’s easy to play along with the Read Write Word prompt. Take as many (or as few) of these donated words and use them to write a poem. Once you’re done, link to the poem in the comments here or wait until Thursday’s Get Your Poem On post, if you prefer.
If you want to add to the fun, simply email a list of words to info (at) readwritepoem (dot) org and we can use them in a future prompt. Have fun!
All of our word collages are created at the awesome Wordle site.
Here’s my day 26…shorter because I’m tired:

I’m woefully behind and I have drafts floating on two blogs and scraps of paper here and there. Still, I’m writing. I’ve done more than last year. This has been successful for me even if I don’t finish with 30. I’m excited to continue to writing.
Anyhoo, here’s another one.
