I decided to join National Poetry Writing Month this year.
When I first heard of NaPoWriMo, I thought the syllables were some kind of Tibetan mantra. Although I don’t quite get the concept of April as “National Poetry Month” (in the U.S.), I am still going to give it a shot. I find the idea of Poetry Month a bit absurd, like “National Child Abuse Awareness Month” (which, ironically, is ALSO April in the U.S. of A).
Are we open to lyrical reality only during that 30-day window?
Does our muse speak to us more in April than in other months?
Are children abused less in April because we are aware of their plight?
Still – I have more than 31 drafts and I need to post them…
so I will be a skeptical participant in Na Po Wri Mo 2014.

I actually had over 31 drafts on my dashboard and I’m just bringing them out and posting them during April for NaPoWriMo.
I take a while to come up with each one – not sure I could crank them out one-a-day from scratch.
I will be finishing some quickly though !
Thanks for Connecting.

I totally missed this year’s NaPoWriMo! I’ll make up for it sometime this year! So how did it go for you? :D

It was lyrically stimulating.
I found some other great poetry blogs and got more visits than usual so what’s not to like about NaPoWriMo ? Thanks for stopping by Alicia.
