I've already posted some of the poems here, so I have a head start! Current word count is 1,171 out of 50,000! That's 2.324% already! Great start, right!

Most of these poems will be based in (fictional) history, culture, or other such things that any real nation would have poetry about. I intend to have Tolkien-esque and Robert Frost themed works that explain in greater detail what it's like living in Belecthoria (and later Meretica) through the centuries. Perfect time, too, since @Stringbean and I are writing #DuskOnTheHorizon!

This sounds interesting! I normally think of NaPo as the month for binging poetry, so I'm curious to see what your take on it will be during NaNo. Good luck with all of those poems! :)

This sounds like such an interesting writing project! Poems about history are hard enough, and having to make them up about a fictional universe is even harder. Super excited to do with this, Vil!

I’ll paraphrase Thoreau here... Rather than love, than money, than faith, than fame, than fairness, give me truth.
