NaPoWriMo 2012


The blogosphere should be the place for every reader and writer as bloggers on various writing challenges plough into the recesses of their creative soul to blog every day in the month of April. NaPoWriMo, or National Poetry Writing Month, is an annual project in which participating poets attempt to write a poem a day for the month of April - that's 30 poems in 30 days. 
NaPoWriMo was founded in 2003, when poet Maureen Thorson decided to take up the challenge (modeled after NaNoWriMo, or National Novel Writing Month), and challenged other poets to join her. Since then, the number of participants has increased every year. And Yes, I'm crazy enough to sign up and have indeed.

Please forward any interesting images and a-z prompts for poems (no porno, pls). I can do with all the help I can get. My email address is on the side bar.


Feel free to join in too. Wish me luck and please come read and support me with your comments at Adura's Eyes where the poems will be posted. Many thanks. See you soon.
