2 days left to sign up and 3 spaces remaining! If we don't fill all three spaces, we'll allow sign ups to continue during round one but all participants must have submitted a poem on this thread by the 4th April 10:00pm GMT.

I will be using guest judges to determine any round I am participating in.

In.
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

They all have such different styles I don't envy the people that have to judge them hahahaha.

I guess I'll be the first one to submit?


you will go to the paper towns, and you will never come back
Written on NaPo Day One- April 1st

Spoiler
sometimes you wish you could chose the day you get to die.
you would chose today, when you wake up and the sun is in your eyes--
it's so bright part of you thinks you might already be dead.

you tell him your theory about choosing the day you die and he rolls his eyes
and tells you if you want to die so bad, why don't you go step in front of a bus?


so you walk outside and stand in the street, but no buses come to take you away
and the kids with their bikes won't run you over either.

you fall asleep in a gutter and when you wake up, you have to put your spine back in place
because somewhere along the line, you started sleeping with it curved around you
like a blanket.

you wish some days you could wake up and be dead.
hush, my sweet
these tornadoes are for you
