Young Writers Society

This could liven up the poetry forum a bit too much, but I am interested in this challenge. Though my ability to write poetry takes a lot more time and work crafting a few lines, then it does for me to do an entire chapter or two of a novel. Good poetry is not something that should come easy, but excuse me if I think haikus and generic tasteless poems will replace the deeper ones, with maybe one or two good poems coming out from a person in a month

You can't really force yourself to write poetry, unlike you can force yourself to write a book.

You can at least write an awful first draft that can undergo major editing later on, Kenpachi. Poetry doesn't always have to be "deep." My favourite poems are nonsense rhymes. *shallow*

I guess we don't really need a NaPoWriMo thread past this one, everyone gets their own thread in the poetry forums where you post all your poems Better than spreading them out everywhere.

Good luck everyone!

Is there no word limit/count, then? No rules except 30 poems by the end of the month?

I'm totally up for it! But I think I'll post my poems in my blog for now and then just display the ones I like best in the literary forum.

I'm with Kitty.

I think I may do this as well.

Though my creativity is lame currently, so no making fun of my horrific poetry!

I'm not sure whether I'll post my efforts...I tend not to post pieces until they've been rejected, so if I don't, I'll just do titles and wordcounts in my thread, and hope you guys trust that I'm not making up my progress reports...

NaPoWriMo? Sounds like a good plan to me. Forces me to practise my poetry skills and that is defnetly something I need. I'm in!

...although I doubt I'll post them. Maybe in my blog.

All the best and happy poetry writing!

Looks like I might be the only one posting mine. You cowards!

I'd so do that.
And terrify people with my horrific rhyming and lack of emotion!
YES!
xD

I am going to post mine!

You just aren't allowed to critique them

There's a subform under NaNoWriMo, if anyone is so inclined You could start a thread for your poems there and then be sure they don't garner any critiques until you've spiffed them up a bit ^_^

Should we move the already created ones in dramatic poetry over to the subforum?

I think this sounds like a lot of fun as well.

I'm in =) When can we start?

You can't really force yourself to write poetry, unlike you can force yourself to write a book.

I disagree with that statement. You can't really force yourself to write a novel either, at least not well. While it might be easier to get the words out if you're writing a novel, than if you're writing poetry, writing a novel is a lot more than just typing what comes to mind. Much like each word in a poem is chosen specifically for the piece, each paragraph in a novel acts much in the same way.

There is a thought process to any type of writing, not just poetry.
