This thread is for those who conquered National Poetry Writing Month - meaning that you successfully wrote 30 poems during the month of April.

For your bragging rights, as well as a badge hand-made by @Nutty, you must link your NaPo thread here and state your total poems written. They did not have to be written on thirty different days; they did not have to be written about a theme, or conversely, without a theme.

Basically, if you wrote thirty poems in April, we want to reward you for your accomplishment! And even if you didn't write 30 poems in April, we'd love to give you a participant's badge for stimulating the poetry community on YWS, and discuss what you learned and discovered during the month of personal exploration. So feel free to join the discussion. Are there poems you would like reviewed? Would you like a fresh set of eyes on your development throughout the month?

We're interested in hearing what NaPo was about for you. If you're particularly proud of one or two pieces, there's a thread for that.

Tagging all those who posted a NaPo thread this year.

they'll have to find another heart to break

32 (posted) poems, 30 days. I really like all of them, but probably April 25 is my favourite. Or April 5.

I made it! 30 poems.
I believe in that, which is not seen.
I call it truth, faith, hope, life.

Didn't make it, first 'cause I discovered this a bit too late, and second because I'm waaaaay too erratic. Napo's pretty much a way to learn how to be regular with my work, and this time, I failed.
Oh well. I'll have to make sure to be more careful next time. I'll keep writin' poems anyway.

And congrats to the winners!

Well, I didn't finish (wrote 19). I need to get into the habit of writing more regularly, so that when NaPo comes next year I'm not going to be struggling.
However I would love if some of you could check out the thread, there are some poems I like, others aren't so good. Either way, a quick comment or short review would help me out heaps. :)
