NaPoWriMo

I am not a poet, but there is a beautiful poet here in myLot by the name of shizuka @choijungeun

I've never heard of this before. I've done some poetry, mostly limericks though. I've not written any in a very long time.

I actually HAVE published a few poems, but I could never be that prolific, unless it was Haiku. I write (usually on napkins and such like) when the moment strikes.

I can imagine it might get pretty hard by the end of the month. Good for you for sticking with it.

I do write poetry. Sometimes poems come pouring out of me one after the other, but lately, I have only been able to write prose. Below is a poem that began as a "song" I told my mother I "wrote" when I was two. The song was, "Oh, the hippopotamus is in the tree." And one day, when I mentioned it to a coworker, she encouraged me to expand upon it. Here was the outcome. The Lonely Hippopotamus There sits upon a big oak tree a lonely hippopotamus. Why won't somebody play with me? My friendship is autonomous. I'll be the best friend I can be - no need to stay anonymous. We can frolic through the park at three and even ride an omnibus. "Oh! Where on earth can my friend be," asks the lonely hippopotamus. Just then, a ladybug flew up and landed on her nose. She said, "Hello, and how are you? By the way, my name is Rose." © Copyright 2006 Michelle My dad, a Vietnam War correspondent, was a newspaper journalist, editor, and photographer. I heard him use the word "wrote" and understood it to mean "came up with."

I write reviews, articles, etc. and have a children's book in rhyme that I have not had published as yet. I rarely write poetry. Good luck! Good to see you here.

You must be a good poet. That is great. Keep doing good.

I have written some poetry, but never participated in NaPoWriMo. I have a friend in London who is taking part this year. She's been having a great time of it.
