When is it?

I wouldn't mind trying my pen at poetry. I've never really been a huge fan but it sounds like it could be fun, plus if all else fails I could always write a haiku! ^_^

It starts at midnight on April 1st (the midnight right after March 31st, not at the end of the day) and lasts through the month. One poem a day if you can, but at least thirty by the end! ^___^ You should definitely try!
you can message me with anything: questions, review requests, rants
are you a green room knight yet?
have you read this week's Squills?

Thanks so much Hannah! I think I will. =]

I think I'm going to have all of my poems relate to each other in one way or another. Maybe this would be a great opportunity to write a novel in poetry. I've always wanted to do it. Is there any rule that says I can't have them all related? I think I'd find it easier if I didn't have to think of a brand new concept every single day.

Just write -- the rest of life will follow.

Would love help on this.

No, there's not a rule like that that I know of! In fact, it would be nice to see the different ways you can explore one topic without writing the same poem thirty times, so I think that would be a good idea! ^_^ Good luck, Jared!

I've been trying to do a poem a day anyways. Of course I'm in.
"I'm fearless in my heart
They will always see that in my eyes
I am the passion, I am the warfare
I will never stop
Always constant,
Accurate,
Intense"

Haha, I've actually always wanted to write an epic poem. (Poems that tell stories. Like Beowulf, only I'd use much more modern English. XD)
I make my own policies.

I may compete, I am not sure if I will. =p I probably won't. Back in janurary and feburary I wrote 1 poem+ a day and I don't feel like writing anymore. Well as heavily atleast.

I'm taking part :). This oughta be fun!
You poor take courage
You rich take care
This earth was made a common treasury
For everyone to share
All things in common
All people one
We come in peace
The orders came to cut them down

Billy Bragg - The World Turned Upside Down



I only know that learning to believe in the power of my own words has been the most freeing experience of my life. It has brought me the most light. And isn't that what a poem is? A lantern glowing in the dark.
