I like my first and second day =) Usually it takes me FOREVER to post a poem up on YWS because I'll edit it to no mercy, and then I'll simply shy away from the material for weeks. I cannot post something unless I see myself in the writing--like my style, and my voice, etc.
But this experience is actually helping me churn them out a lot quicker xP They're awful of course, but not to my usual rough-drafty awfulness.
Ack, third day was just horrid. I just needed something to post xP
The two lines I've enjoyed so far in three of my poems -- "This is the symphony that no-one wants to hear" and "Pretty puddles of colour congregate / like a rainbow archipelago".

My first wasn't the best (I will admit to the truth), it was based off a nightmare, so I didn't really expect it to be happy. My second was crap. I tried writing something a little happier, but I couldn't get the words onto the page. My third day I liked, it seemed happy to me, and had a moral. My fourth I can already tell is going to be crap. Its 8, and I havent written one word worth using.
I realized that I said I'd be gone for only two weeks...but I was gone for much longer.I hope to stay on this time.
I haven't been too happy with any of mine, and I've straight-up hated most of them... but there are a few good lines, I think:
"[you] left scales behind like sinners, "
and "I want Narnia in my waistcoat pocket,
wrapped in a kerchief and set to dry. "
The good parts of a book may be only something a writer is lucky enough to overhear or it may be the wreck of his whole damn life — and one is as good as the other.

I've really fallen behind with mine but I have an idea for one that I'm going to write up soon and I think it could work quite well. Here's crossing my fingers...
Today - technically yesterday now - was the last day of NaPo for me, so now I get to edit and work out a lot of those poems, if not scratch them completely. ^^
W00t w00t!! to everyone who participated in, completed, had fun, commented, was involved in NaPo. Roxxors to those soxxors!

p.s. I'm so glad it's over. xD
I like you as an enemy, but I love you as a friend.
