Poetry Commitment

Below is cut/paste from the NaPoWriMo site.  I am participating this year and posting daily the prompts via cut/paste on Story Circle Network's site. They are forming a community of poets participating. Check it out:      https://www.storycircle.org/class/napowrimo-community-poetry/

Na/GloPoWriMo Is Nearly Here

Happy Ides of March, everyone (unless you’re Julius Caesar). For those of you who are not doomed Roman emperors, mid-March should hold no terrors — especially because it means that National/Global Poetry Writing Month is almost upon us. As it turns out, writing a poem every day for a month is far less intimidating than a bunch of fairweather friends armed with daggers! Learning to dance on the knife’s edge of verse is a wondrous kind of fun — and the mortality rate is refreshingly low.

All that silliness aside, we’ll be back in the three days leading up to April. In the meantime, why not spend some time exploring The Poetry Archive? This non-profit is dedicated to preserving recordings of poets reading their work, and they have nearly 2,000 recordings freely available online. 

Happy listening!

I am also posting this blog on the NaPoWriMo site. I intend to post poems that I write during April on the blog. 

In the meantime I am working on writing Tiny Haibun in a Call of the Page class with Alan and Karen.
