Alright tagging all of you wonderful NaPo buddies ~ hopefully you've had a chance to check in with your buddy at least once in the first week (I can hardly believe a week has already passed, can you?) I'd encourage you this week to try to encourage you buddies by ~ writing a poem inspired by them in some way ~ either their poetic style, a line /theme they've used, or maybe a comment they've made. You might leave the poem you write in your thread, or if i doesn't fit you can just leave it on their wall too. <- This is all totally optional, but is another great way to encourage each other if you're up to the challenge! If you write a poem inspired by something from your buddy be sure to give them a little shout-out! Have a great week and keep encouraging each other! You can do this!!!!

Oh ! Hello there! You seem to have clicked the 2nd spoiler but there's nothing here, nothing here at all. What's that? You wanted another poetry prompt? Well if you insist!

Poetry Prompt
1) Write 10 words that start with the same letter as your username or name.
2) Try to use 5 of those words within a single stanza!

or the NaPo Week 1 Jam Prompt Challenge

ALRIGHTY !! Everyone feeling okay? How's NaPo going? (feel free to actually comment here if you'd like or just answer out-loud and I'll pretend I can hear your answer through the internet waves)

Hopefully you've had some fun commenting in your NaPo Buddies' threads and maybe even had a chance to write a poem inspired by them this last week! This week I am going to encourage you to (if you want) try a collab poem with your buddy!

Some ideas of how you could try to do this:
> Meet up in a poetry jam / write-in and just write out a poem
> Do a poem where you take turns writing lines on one of your walls (so you don't have to coordinate in real time)
> Do a poem where you take turns writing stanzas on one of your walls
> 1 person write part 1, 1 person write part 2, and 1 person write part 3 (if you want to do a three-way collab.
> Give each other a poetry prompt!
> Use your own creative approach, whatever works for you!

If you and your buddies or you and one of your buddies actually get a collab written comment here so we can admire it and I'll also send you each 250 points for your efforts! Writing together is just a lot of fun so I hope you take advantage of this idea or just continue to support each other the best that you can! :)

(Also I forgot to mention if you've been supporting your buddy in wall comments rather than thread comments, keep in mind those comments count towards the NaPo Garden Challenge!!)

Spoiler! :
AH You've caught on to my tricks! Here's your random poetry prompt for the day - describe motion in an unexpected way or personify clouds or both in one poem.

Hi everyone! <3 Just 5 days of NaPo left! Can you believe it? Hopefully you've enjoyed following along with your buddy's thread! :) There's still time to reach your goals if you haven't yet, but these last days we'll all need allll the encouragement you've got left! :D

So I would encourage you, to be sure to make a pleasant comment in your buddy's thread in the next couple days! Maybe point out a favorite poem or line from their thread!

Good luck in this final push!

Spoiler! :
~ ohoho did you want a prompt? ~

your prompt today is to write a poem based on a nonsense word or nonsense phrase. You could combine two words to make something an oxymoron or not make sense - > ie. butter-couch, wall-courage, dandelion-phoney. etc or you could use whatever your username spelled backwards is, or just come up with some random word! Good luck!! :)

Also just like last week, if you complete this challenge let me know I'd love to read it, and would definitely send you 200 points for your troubles! :)

OKAY SO @SilverNight and I started a poem together in April and then I forgot about it for months oops and we wrapped it up this month, SO HERE IT IS, FOUR MONTHS LATER!!!! c:


Spoiler! :
these thunderstorms have gotten quieter
and although the sky goes on for miles,
i feel like i’m the only one looking up at these clouds

how many more lightning strikes
do i need to stuff my pockets with
until i begin to feel something?

what if this storm ends
and i go on being hollow forever?
the air is slashed with arcs of silver and gold,
but it’s still not enough for me.
they're not strong enough
to restart this heart
when the frayed wires need
a heavier jolt of electricity
to begin conducting emotion again

so i call out to the thunder,
but my voice isn’t loud enough
and its reply isn’t for me.

i wonder how many more thunderstorms
i can survive
i wonder how many more
the sky can give

and i wonder how many raindrops
it takes to drown in.
