Soooo, any poets among us? NaPoWriMo begins tomorrow!

To tell the truth I've never been one to participate in group writing exercises...well, I did do the 3:15 Project for a couple of years many years ago (During the month of August you wake up at 3:15 am every morning, write whatever you are moved to write and go back to sleep). But I'm trying to get a project off the ground and I plan to do a poem a day during the month of April.

I don't expect miracles but sometimes a germ is born. I've been surprised before.

1. I might give it a try...

Your last sentence really resonates with me!

After all, if you don't write, you most definitely won't get that gem.

2. Too true. Butt in the chair, hands on the keys (or pen).

Break a leg...er, finger!

3. Hands on keyboard, LOL!

And if I break a finger..........

4. I am.

Rhyming has always been very easy for me...

5. Good talent to have. Smart rhyming is hard!

I do write rhyming poetry but most of it does not. I've been playing with forms lately. I'm a sucker for repetition in rhythms and imagery. I've been playing with villanelles a good bit, and old fashioned call-and-response pieces.

Good luck!

That's www.napowrimo.net. I don't think it clicks through.

8. I meant to ask how this was going for you on the phone earlier.

9. Not half bad! I just sent a trio of poems off to an anthology, one of which came out of this.

Have I written a poem every day? Nope. But I've got a few pieces I like and one I felt good enough about to send out. Such is poetry.

Btw what rhymes with "Snake"?
