In your pounded-out daily poems [ ], have you actually created something you found particularly brilliant on the first try?
Also, like in the NaNo threads, share you completely nonsensical lines here! |

| I'm reasonably fond of my second actually. It needs some work -- majorly -- but I think it has some potential. |

| I like both of mine, but I like the second more. My third will be crap because I don't have a good idea today. |

| I like the ideas I had the first day and today....obviously they both are going to need some work, but like NaNo, I'm doing all my editing in May. |

I like my first and second day =) Usually it takes me FOREVER to post a poem up on YWS because I'll edit it to no mercy, and then I'll simply shy away from the material for weeks. I cannot post something unless I see myself in the writing--like my style, and my voice, etc.
But this experience is actually helping me churn them out a lot quicker xP They're awful of course, but not to my usual rough-drafty awfulness.
Ack, third day was just horrid. I just needed something to post xP |

| The two lines I've enjoyed so far in three of my poems -- "This is the symphony that no-one wants to hear" and "Pretty puddles of colour congregate / like a rainbow archipelago". |

| My first wasn't the best (I will admit to the truth), it was based off a nightmare, so I didn't really expect it to be happy. My second was crap. I tried writing something a little happier, but I couldn't get the words onto the page. My third day I liked, it seemed happy to me, and had a moral. My fourth I can already tell is going to be crap. Its 8, and I havent written one word worth using. |

| I like mine from the fifth and the sixth. The rest are somewhat questionable... |

I haven't been too happy with any of mine, and I've straight-up hated most of them... but there are a few good lines, I think:
"[you] left scales behind like sinners, "
and "I want Narnia in my waistcoat pocket,
wrapped in a kerchief and set to dry. " |

| I've really fallen behind with mine but I have an idea for one that I'm going to write up soon and I think it could work quite well. Here's crossing my fingers... |

This seems as good a place as any. ^^
Today - technically yesterday now - was the last day of NaPo for me, so now I get to edit and work out a lot of those poems, if not scratch them completely. ^^
W00t w00t!! to everyone who participated in, completed, had fun, commented, was involved in NaPo. Roxxors to those soxxors!

p.s. I'm so glad it's over. xD |
