Did you know @lliyah made a contest for all things goose, chicken, and penguin related??? And the winner of each category (poetry, visual art, song, crochet, you name it) gets 500 points??? This sounds like the perfect opportunity to warm up your poetry skills right before NaPo to me. Go check it out here!
lliyah Thank you for the shout out!!

Don't mind me doing a little self-promotion <.<
I made a three part art dump over in my art thread that features pencil, acrylic, pastels, and even a bit of clay sculpture~ I don't often say this, but I'm pretty proud of this art, so it would mean a lot if you gave my thread a little snoop!
I mention this over in the thread, as well, but a lot of this most recent round of art has some deeper intentions/personal meanings behind them, so if you're interested in hearing any of that stuff let me know and I'd be glad to share. ^^
Stringbean these are amazing!!

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

No time travel necessary for this Poetry Discussion! :) I absolutely can't wait to discuss some song lyrics oh my goodness~Liminality wrote:Sorry I got the *year* of all things wrong in the last post, but here we go!Liminality wrote:*TIME CORRECTION -- I changed the year, now it should be rightLiminality 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!

Anyway. My point being - it's really satisfying to be able to look back at what I've written and see that all this work is paying off. I am, without a doubt, a better poet than when I started! I think part of that is just being older and more mature, but the importance of practice and stretching your writing muscles definitely can't be understated either. It's a good reminder that you're probably not gonna write fabulous, perfect poetry right off the bat (I mean, nothing's really ever going to be perfect anyway), and that is completely okay. It's growing that's the important part.
