April has landed, the timing is nigh
thirty in thirty, or so we avow;
we sit at our keyboard inspired to write
while hoping our muses will guide us somehow.
Prompted by words or an image or two,
pouring our hearts out in thought and in deed
sharing our secrets, it’s what poets do…
where even the tiniest thought plants a seed.
Free verse or format, now which will it be?
Deliver the goods, perfect spelling be damned!
Get the words down on paper for you all to read
and later, revisions or needed revamps.
April has started, no time to concede!
The poets come out of the woodwork to play:
we rip out our hearts, in black ink we bleed—
insightful, delightful, you really should stay!

April is NaPoWriMo: National Poetry Writing Month. The challenge? To write 30 poems in 30 days. While some writers are dedicated and diligent, others (like me) may lag a bit behind. No matter!! Please read, follow, and enjoy the ride!
Good luck and have fun with your Napo!--I am doing this with a group of writer friends but not on my blog this year--
ReplyDeleteThanks for taking a moment. Good luck to you, too!
