With a grand total of ### lines (i'm not giving an actual number but i didn't crack four digits) I failed NEPMo rather badly last year and I've been thinking that partially it was because I had a cold start. I don't write a great deal of poetry and in the run-up to NEPMo last year I was scrambling to finish Screnzy so I was thinking in script format not verse.

So this year I've been pondering NaPoWriMo (National Poem Writing Month). The goal is to write a poem every day in April.

The big question is... will taking part in this challenge get me in the right mindset for NEPMo? Or will having a month of nonstop poem writing already under my belt cause me to burn out early?

Any thoughts?

Well I've decided to give this a whirl.

One down, twenty-nine to go! :)

One week in and I'm glad I'm doing this. It's a nice little warm-up and it's easing me into poem writing gradually.

A breakdown so far...

3 cinquain
1 chouka
1 (imperfect) ricatmeter
1 haiku
1 freeform

6 mentioned color
3 include flower references
3 about the sky
2 have mentioned dreams

Hmmm... what can I learn from this breakdown... it's spring and I'm visually oriented?
