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).![]()













Thirty days of poetry.Moleskin & Papermate pens are ready. I’ll post them on my blog, if you all would like to read them. Follow me on Twitter,if you’re into that… @TheAmericanPoet
I will follow you back.Let’s go!
I’m going to try try again! Can’t wait!
I’m in!
Is it OK for me to post my poems at Fictionaut, rather than my personal blog?
Not sure I’ll be able to write a good poem for 30 consecutive days, as I’m a neophyte already struggling to put together some decent ones. But, you never know if you don’t try! I’ll give it my best shot…but will probably aim for short poem “nuggets” instead of longer, fuller poems. http://rrosenchang.blogspot.com
I’m in!

Please count me in for a poem a day in April. Woot.
sounds good. i’m in.
Sure let’s see what this turns into. Have not been writing much this year…
Count me in.
30 poems in 30 days, good,or bad!
I pledge to write a poem a day for the month of April. NaPoWriMo here I come.
A poet’s autobiography is his poetry. Anything else is just a footnote.

I’m in!!
Hope we all have a wonderful month ahead!
Have fun!
Found this just in time on 03/31! I can and will write a poem a day for 30 days.
I except the challenge.
I’ll try
Well, let’s give this a try. Keep your fingers crossed.
Sounds like fun- count me in!
Ok, not sure I can do this but DETERMINED to try. I’ve always wanted a challenge like this to rise to!
A friend sent a link to this challenge – so off we go
A great challenge! I’m in!
I hereby pledge on a stack of William Blake books to write one poem each day for the entire month of April. I will post my poems at http://vinniekinsella.wordpress.com.
Onwards to victory!
Yeah!
I <3 napowrimo. Let's do it.
I pledge allegiance to the plan of writing a poem every day during the month of April and posting to my blog at Live Journal. It’s going to be fun – for me, and hopefully for the people who read it as well!
-Allie.
What the heck – if I think about it too long, I won’t do it. Let’s roll.
I’m in. No website, so you can find me via
Sage Cohen http://writingthelifepoetic.typepad.com/writing_the_life_poetic/napowrimo-2010-the-writing-the-life-poetic-challenge.html
I’m in! This is the season to dream big and write concisely.
Nothing ventured… I have kept myself in a comfort zone for too long. I’m going to do this, even if the poems are short and nearly quips.
a poem a day! in there!
External pressure is a necessary ingredient. Prompt away.
Seems like an interesting challenge. I’m down, for sure.
Consider me pledged!
I’ll give it a go!

Forgot to provide the link to my blog in the previous comment, so here you go:

I’m ready for my 30 poems! (At least I’ll try!)
Once again will be challenging myself to write a poem or two every day in April. Also will be doing Script Frenzy this year too… Yikes.
I can’t seem to post the badge on my blog. Help anyone?
Yay! I finally got the badge up!
I, Nicole, shall participate in NaPoWriMo!
I’m in! I’m posting mine on my site, along with a bit of running commentary each day (mostly, what tunes I was rocking when I wrote the poem!)
http://williamjames.whatis174.com/napowrimo.htm
I’m definitely participating!!
I’m Drea and I think writing a poem every day will be a good goal to go along with my juice fast. I will post all my stuff here:

Looks like I’m doing this again. I fell at the last hurdle last year and my writing’s been patchy this year but what the heck, this may be the challenge I’ve been needing!
Count me in too.
I did this last year and it surprised me- I was in a poem dead zone, by the end of the month i had some poems under my belt that weren’t bad, some that weren’t great but were the beginnings of a poem.
So OK, let’s do it, let’s wake the sleeping poetry up again !
Ok, now that I’ve figured out what was wrong with the badge and got it to show correctly, I guess I will have to take the challenge then.
I’ll try…

Ok….this should get me started writing again…a poem a day…that might be doable! Here’s a link to my blog I’ve just started: http://mikejohnsonpoet.blogspot.com/
Nothing there yet…hopefully there will be 30 entries by the end of the month! Write On!
Signing up! Man, a whole month of my terrible poetry … O_O won’t someone think of the children!
I’m game! Where are the prompts?
I cannot wait to write a poem a day and pledge to stick with it!

I am up for it and will paste poems here.

Yep, I’m definitely doing in again this year.
Hi all. I’m giving this a go…
http://daimlergunrow.wordpress.com
I have a really scary idea for this year, but going to try it. Going to try to do all 30 poems on a theme as a series. YIKES!!! My theme is Creation. Started in the wee hours earlier today at http://rosefirerising.wordpress.com/ – But I can’t figure out how to add the badge. NO time to fiddle right now either! I have another blog that requires a post a day, and this is killer commitment, April.
Jumping in head first…weeeeeee!!!!! (ok I chickened out about head first) Cannonball!!!!

First year — but if ya’ll can do it…so can I.

I thought I had added a comment, probably got caught in the spam filter?
I had participated in 08 and 09 and it was great!!! and this year too, I intend to!
I hope to write one every day:)
Ah, found you. This page is a huge puzzle. But yes, please: I do want to write a poem a day. Haven’t found a prompt yet!
I’m going to give this a whirl…
http://teapartiesonneptune.wordpress.com/
Count me in for a poem (or two) a day for the month of April.
Once again, I’m attempting to become a daily poet in April!
Wrong email addy above… corrected here.
Attempting once again to become a daily poet in April!
Wrong website also. Dang these fingers!
I accept!
I took the challenge last year for the first time and intend to write at least 30 poems in the next 30 days. Yay! for April and National Poetry Month. Tlazos! (Thanks!)
I’m in! musetomyeyes.blogspot.com
I’m going to give this a go.
OK, I must be insane but I’m gonna give it a go! Help RWP go out in a blaze of something or other, probably “other” in my case!
Yes we can!
I’m in, if I can figure out where the prompt is.
I’m in. Sounds like good motivation.
