Yes, this is it! The Read Write Poem NaPoWriMo Challenge pledge post. Remember — you have to “sign” the pledge to qualify for inclusion in the Read Write Poem NaPoWriMo Challenge Anthology and to be included in our gently used poetry collection raffle!
Leave your name in the comments below, along with a link to your blog (if you have one) and pledge your ambition, hope, goal or other such oath to write a poem every single day the month of April. (If you need a refresher about the motivation behind such a lofty goal, read this post, where we tell you about the opportunities in store for those who accept the challenge.)
And to mark your commitment, here is the Read Write Poem NaPoWriMo Challenge badge that you can proudly display on your blog.

So go ahead! Sign up in the comments below (even if you were so excited by the initial announcement that you commented there, too).![]()













Sign me up. This is going to be fun.

Yup
I’m in.
My site is My Gorgeous Somewhere. I plan on referring to it as, “My What the Hell Have I Gotten Myself Into” during the month of April.
I think — I just think — I have convinced Nathan Moore to write with me as well. That would be rad. I hope he takes the challenge.

What the hell.
A poem a day keeps the (head) doctor away… Yes please!
I’m in – I will, however, not be able to post until April 5 since I will be on a blissful, electronics-free vacation. I promise to do a poem a day the old fashioned way – with a pen and a notebook…

I’m already writing a poem a day for a year, so I’m in.
http://survivorscribe.wordpress.com/
I’m going to try too! http://www.spiritsoflena.com/
count me in — I may even have to buy a new computer to keep up!!
http://another2doors.wordpress.com/
I’m giving it a try. Look for my poems at http://1965footprints.blogspot.com
Question: Must the poems follow the prompts or can we do our own thing, too?
okay
I post my poems every year at the Poetry Free-for-all…
OK, I’m on.
In.
that time of year already? i’m up for it
OK, I’ll do it. If only to prove to myself that a ten-minute coffee break is long enough to write a (bad but editable) poem, if I hold myself to it.
You can fine me at http://poetrychook.blogspot.com/

I’m going to give it another try this year (got 28 poems last year, so I think it’s worth a try!).
I’m looking forward to slowing down my life focusing on poetry for the month of April.

I’ll hang out my sign, “readers needed!”

Telling Stories
thanks so much for setting this up every year… this will be my third year… last year was not able to finish…
I’m in!
Work and poetry, do they mix? It’s like mixing business and pleasure. It’s worth trying.
As scared as I am of it, count me in.
