get your poem on #72c (and oh, my, it’s the last day of april!)
by the Read Write Poem Staff
Today is not only a Get Your Poem On Thursday, it is the Last Day of April, the last day of National Poetry Month. It is the last day of NaPoWriMo!
Here is your chance to leave us link to your poem for today (if you have been NaPoWriMo-ing), or for the week (if you have been avoiding that whole scene). Did you listen this week? Have you been inspired by birdsong or traffic noise? Whatever you’ve heard and written about, now is the time to share it with your fellow participants!
Let us know. We’ll leave the light on this post for a week so you can comment all you want.
Please, link back here in your posts, either with a hyperlink to Read Write Poem or by using the badge in your post. Sidebar links are great but it’s important for the group’s “internet health” that you link here with every post you contribute to the project. And please add “Read Write Poem” in your tags, if you don’t mind. Search engines come up with weird stuff when they look for “RWP,” such as “Radiation Work Permit.” We’d much rather link them up with our poetry than with something from a bad sci-fi movie, or “event.”
Please take a few moments to read the the About page and our Copyrights page. If you have any questions about the project after reading through those pages, e-mail us at info (at) readwritepoem (dot) org.
For the new folks: Please take a few moments to read the About pages, including our Copyrights page. If you have any questions about the project after reading through those pages, email us at info (at) readwritepoem (dot) org.

March 17, 2010 | 11:37 am“The new math of poetry is driven not by reader demand for great or even good poetry but by the demand of myriads of aspiring poets to experience the thrill of ‘publication.’ “
So says David Alpaugh (along with a lot of other thoughtful things) in “The New Math of Poetry,” published last month in The Chronicle of Higher Education.

- it’s a wrap: last stop on our (virtual) tour of molly gaudry’s ‘anatomy for the artist’
March 15, 2010 | 3:28 pm“I was physically drained by this poem. I understood it on my terms. If a poet’s innovative craftsmanship with form, word, sound, imagery, metaphor, can show me my own bones, then I want to read more of that poet’s work.”
Just a snippet from Wanda McCollar’s response to Molly Gaudry’s electronic chapbook, “Anatomy for the Artist.” Look for the entire post on Synecdochic Stuff and find the rest of our tour, below.
The first stop was Donna Vorreyer at her blog. Next up was Catherine Fitchett at Poetry Chook, Lawrence Gladeview at Righteous Rightings and Ren Powell at More Babel.
You can find complete information about this chapbook and tour here, including a link to where to find it and read it for yourself, online.
Next month’s tour will start mid-April. Don’t miss it!

Here is my last poem for napowrimo. Thank you for all the encouragement and prompt ideas this month! You guys are great. It’s been a fun (exhausting) challenge and I’ve discovered some amazing poets out there.
http://knittingthewind-westering.blogspot.com/2009/04/i-am-flowers-by-river-breathing-alone.html
Here is my 2nd to last poem, # 29.
My Archeology Site:

So it’s Day 30. Thank you all very much for the prompts. I couldn’t have done it without them.
The lunacy must end
Although officially I had not signed up for NaPoWriMo, I wrote 30 poems for thirty days. I follwe some prompts and a few I wrote whatever I felt like. I read a lot of great poetry. I found sarah, jimmmaa and many more via this. Thanks.
Here is offering for today. I took deb’s line. Thanks Deb!
Mine follows from another poem I wrote before:
http://firmlyrooted.blogspot.com/2009/04/road-trip-continues.html
My NaPoMo poem #30, the last one for NaPoMo 2009, a celebration of the adventure: A Poet’s Journey
This is my number 30, written to prompt #29 since we are almost a day ahead in New Zealand. 10pm on the 30th here, but I may declare May 1st to be April the 31st and have a go at prompt #30 as well – we’ll see
The Almost Perfect Southern Woman
(This may or may not be comprehensible to non-New Zealanders)
This has been wonderful month. Thanks

Thank you Read Write Poem and this community of poet bloggers. It’s been a dazzling trip for me.

Wow! Last day of April; I loved the challenge… stuck it through and wrote 30 poems for 30 days…(last one yet to be put up)
It was totally fun; to check for new prompts here and to take a peek at some great poets (who write such extraordinary stuff day after day)
Thank you for all the prompts! It was a great 30 days…. looking forward to many more …
Keep up the great efforts!

STATING HIS SOVEREIGNTY
It’s been quite a month, and I haven’t kept up. But I know I will go back to them. I have found inspiration in many places. But, “I don’t think I can!”
Every day, Yay!
I live in Universal City, Tx. The school system that showed the first cases in Texas is right here. I have the flu on my mind and hear everyone discussing what to call it, and why…
H1N1
I wrote a poem for this week’s Wordle: Faulknerian Specimens
Congrats to everyone who participated. I’m so proud to have been a part of this insanity! Here is my final April entry:

at last!
thanks to readwrite and all who participated, everyone who visited, everyone who left comments.
Thanks to all you prompters during the month. You have inspired in me another way to avoid doing dishes and another passion that will not make me rich (or even keep me on rice and beans). And thanks to all who read my poems and left comments during the month. I’ve enjoyed reading everyone’s work. My poem today is a thank you to all (though as always, rather twisted). I used Joanna’s line.

A big thank you for all of the prompters this month and to all of the wonderful poets I have been privileged to read! Congratulations, everybody!

Well, it’s been a long, strange trip but we made it! Thanks for all the wonderful prompts, ladies! And thanks to everyone who took the time to read my stuff and leave such encouraging words. Now I think I’ll sit back and get some poetry reading done myself!!
I use Liz’s line for #30 “he sat”–

A bit belatedly on the “I don’t think I can…” prompt:
#28: a day without pain
I’ll do my best to post two more poems before midnight tonight to get caught up to 30.
I didn’t formally participate in NaPoWriMo, but I wrote more than usual this month. Kudos and a doff of the old hat to all of you who did make it through 30 poems.

Buzzing in the Pipes
#30…..IT COMES TO THIS
trying to read as much of your poems as possible……..it’s been blast
Can’t believe I’ve made it. Thanks for all the support, prompts, visits and great poetry guys.
My final NaPoWriMo draft!
I had so much fun participating in this with all of you, and I’m excited to see what RWP is like when it’s not NaPoWriMo!

NATIONAL POETRY MONTH FAREWELL – A MUSE FOR A MONTH
A bit late, but here is my latest offering, inspired by Ivy Alvarez’s poem Moth.
Here is mine: Moths
What a great group of crazy poets we have! Thanks to everyone who played along!
My last poem is here The Garden is Round So the Devil Can’t Corner the Pansies, and Still the Children Crush the Petals
A proper attempt this time, two more to bring the count up to 30:
meanwhile, in Elysium (two short poems)
Thanks for keeping the momentum going everyone, it’s been a great month.
I’ve had a great time writing this month. Here is my final poem for NaPoWriMo 2009:

I had one last haiku to fill in the very last April day: The earth makes a run …
and a comment.
The Matador and the Bull
I have already submitted my last poem, but this is a poem I wrote a while back and was wondering if anyone would be interested in reading it and offering me feedback on it. Thanks.

Hi godess, I approved all your comments then deleted the extras.
Please be patient. Post a comment, then refresh your browser. If it still doesn’t come up, it will, when we go through the spam filter. The more copies of comments you make, the more you look like a spammer! It’s counter-productive. Really.
