National Poetry Month begins in a few days, on April 1st, of course1 and with it, I’ll begin again each day of the month with a prompt, an invitation, if you’d like one, to write a poem. #
I don’t always write a poem every day, and you certainly don’t have to, either, but if you’d like to, and you need a nudge, they’ll be here. Each day, a little after midnight Mountain, a new picture, and perhaps a sentence or two, will be on the blog to encourage you to write a poem. Write in the comments, or on your own web space, or on paper if you’d like. But write something sometimes. I’ve been doing this for a few years now, and folks seem to find it useful. #
It’s good to play with words. It’s good to read and think about poems. I hope that this National Poetry Month you find time for poetry. #

An image. Some words.
Prompt connections and meaning.
It’s Poetry Month!

[...] As I wrote early in the month, it became a losing battle for me to try to comment on most of the posts every day, try as I might. I sort of swam around the posts, surfing among the titles that folks left to see what might be interesting and trying my darnedest to read and interact with new bloggers. (Yes, just like books, the words in the titles of posts made a difference to me. I didn’t have time for everyone, so I honed in on the ones that seemed extra interesting). Unlike other years, I don’t feel I was to develop a rich, deep blogging relationship with a small core of new writers. Instead, I was like one of those thousand points of light in the night sky, joining others in creating a constellation of words and experiences (See what the Slice of Life does? It makes you wax poetic. And just in time for Bud the Teacher’s visual poetry blogging challenge for April.) [...]
Can I play? I just finished the Slice of Life Challenge and my fellow slicer Kevin directed me to your page. How does this work? Sounds intriguing.

Welcome. Of course you can. Basically, I’ll post a prompt every day. If you want to, write a poem. Enjoy.
