Another Poetry Month is in the books! People took on various subjects from fire to water, summer to spring, bats to fish,
Poetry Jams were more popular than ever before throughout the month, as users joined in to keep each other company during the writing process. And the month produced some truly heart-catching, poignant, sometimes-silly, and always creative poetry. A big thank you to everyone on the mod squad who pulled the NaPo details and hype together to organize and run such an enjoyable event and to @looseleaf, @BluesClues, and @LizzyTyler for taking on the tedious task of counting up the badge results! Thanks to @looseleaf for designing this year's eye-catching jammy badges and last but not least thank you to the many users who hosted Poetry Jams / Write-ins throughout the month or encouraged others to participate in NaPo! Jam Jars for everyone!
Here's some highlights and award winners (if you think you earned a badge, but did not receive one, please PM a Poetry Crew Member) - congratulations all around!
