NaPoWriMo

April is National Poetry Writing Month (NaPoWriMo) and I have been participating like I have since 2014. This year is the first year that I decided to chronicle all the poems online. Which, I know, may lead to some publishing opportunities being out the window, but here we are. I figure if my poem is meant to be published somewhere other than here in my own personal space, I’ll find it. Or it will find me.

Anyway, the challenege of NaPoWriMo is to write 30 poems in 30 days. I have completed it every year that I have tried, with the exception of 2018. My entire house was sick for that month and I just couldn’t manage it.

I find it wonderfully fun to set challenges for myself. I love a good deadline, what can I say. ha! So, the poems you’ll see in my NaPoWriMo tag are not polished. They are poems that I sat down and wrote and then walked away. That is the beauty of this thing: just write. I’ll worry about polishing things up and all that jazz if I feel inclined when May rolls around.

Like I said, if you want to see my poems for this challenge, just make sure you click on the NaPoWriMo tag. They will all be there.

Thanks for coming along on this journey with me!
