And! Our NaPo Info Thread is up!

I am so excited for you all to see what the Poetry Crew has in store for you this April. And really really excited to read everyone's poetry too. (Did I mention I'm excited for NaPo yet?)

If you're not sure what NaPo is and this just seems like a lot of alphabet soup to you so far, we'll have a FAQ thread out soon, but for now I'd encourage you to read the Information Thread. Basically NaPo is a month of poetry fun starting April 1.

To participate in NaPo:

1) create a NaPo thread in the NaPo Forum for posting your poetry in April.
2) watch for the upcoming Badge / Contest Thread to read about our specific challenges you can participate in.
3) jump into poetry jams, contests, and activities all April long!

~ watch for more NaPo prep and brainstorming opportunities this March too (like the upcoming Poetry Reader's Session!!) ~ #countdowntonapo #bringbacknapo #napo2023

17 jam jars left!

Since April is fast approaching, it's time for some... #NaPoGoals !

I've thought of three for this April:
- Use rhyme in all my poems! My past two NaPos have been mostly free verse, and I'd love to do some rhyme in this new month.
- Write at least 20 poems. Ideally 30, but I'm not sure how feasible that is for me this year. So I'm aiming for 20!
- Read. More. Poetry. That was one of my goals last year, and I didn't do it as much as I would have liked. So I'm setting it again and making up my mind to work towards it and read as many threads as I can!

Tagging some other poeting folks to share their goals: @lliyah @rida @Euphory @Liminality @LadyBug @Seirre @figmoon @spatula @tatteredbones @Quillfeather @LadySpark @FireEyes @Lucrezia @Thediffident @4revgreen @Que and anyone who sees this!

Liminality Ooh I love that rhyme goal! Best of luck!

lliyah Thank you for the tag! And those are some great goals!

Poetry Readers wrote:Heads up, you could be discussing a Taylor Swift song at a poetry discussion!!

Hello hello! With NaPo coming up, we're having a special song lyric discussion for our Poetry Readers pad this March! The date/time will be (adjusts to your timezone). You can bring song lyrics from any musical artist you like to discuss. Some examples of the things we might talk about would be favourite lines, how the language of the song makes you feel, etc.

As usual all YWS rules and the content rating system will apply to the pad. Said pad will be posted in the Poetry Readers club and on the People's Tab.

We hope to see you there!

Here's my try at #makeapoll for #socialmonth !

What's your favorite type of poem to read or write?

a) Sonnet
b) Free verse
c) Limerick
d) Haiku
e) Villanelle
f) Rhyming ones in general - no specific requirements
g) Prose poems
h) Other - let me know which one!

starshipgirl hmmm b for writing but definitely d or g for reading...tough one!
Feb 25, 2023

Spearmint ooh I love reading poems with rhymes or near-rhymes (f), but free verse (b) is great too! or poems written by ywsers… (h) ;D
Feb 25, 2023

WeepingWisteria Hnnng.

So, I love writing b, g, and h. H being any poems that focus on repetition (cascades, Sestinas, viators, etc.)
Feb 25, 2023

Liminality d) for reading, possibly c) or f) for writing!

I think my liking for poems can depend more on content + individual techniques rather than form, but in general, I like reading haiku best, but prefer a larger space to work with when I'm doing the writing c:

h) tanka and somonka are nice because I can use similar aesthetics and rhythms to haiku but with more room
Feb 25, 2023

lliyah Oh Villanelles are very satisfying to read! But usually I like reading Free Verse & especially recently poems that are part of a collection or poems that surprise me with how they use form / white-space / the page.

For writing, I most enjoy writing list-poems and prose poems and haiku.
Feb 25, 2023

Euphory To read -> d) haikus! And g) prose poems are just <3 perfect and h) YWS NaPo poetry. Because reading through those cohesive and gorgeous threads is a beautiful exprience every single time <333
To write -> f) rhyming ones g) prose poems

Week 4

It's time to get down to some #GreenRoomQueries ! To participate, have a look at works currently in the Green Room. Then, choose a work that interests you and go to the author's wall. Ask them a question or two about the work and add the hashtag #GreenRoomQueries . For example, you could ask what inspired the piece of writing, what are their plans for it, who is their favourite character to write, etc.

Have fun!

Liminality Based mine vaguely on philosophy - this was a fun one xD

Spoiler! :

Problem is a hard food
Upon a reasoning philosopher
Whose table once a
Aristotelian but not
The nth time is set
Whose Pythagoreans the ravens inspect
And with bleen scream
think past it to the
logician’s time machine
clones eat of it and retort

February 19/20
Week 3

It's time for some Mad Libs Poetry! To participate, choose any poem—it can be one you've written or one by another poet! Then, replace some of the words with the type of speech they are (noun, verb, verb ending in -ing, adverb, adjective, etc.), and then post it on your wall in a spoiler with the parts of speech above it! For an example, see this poem!

Once you've got your poem parts arranged, post it on your wall with the hashtag #MadLibsPoetry. Then go around the People tab and fill in others' templates with the words you come up with!
