It's almost National/Global Poetry Writing Month!

Every April, poets around the world set themselves a challenge: to write one poem a day for all thirty days of the month. I've participated three or four times now, and though I don't usually manage to do all thirty, I've found it a really fruitful practice & have published a number of pieces that started as NaPoWriMo drafts.

For anyone interested, here are some helpful resources:

• https://www.napowrimo.net/ (daily writing prompts)
• https://writers.com/napowrimo-prompts-for-national-poetry-month#prompts (daily prompts; info and tips if you scroll up)
• https://www.everypoet.org/pffa/forumdisplay.php?105-NaPoWriMo-2025 (poetry forum: lots of camaraderie and encouragement. Site is not very mobile-friendly.)

I'd love to hear if anyone else has participated before -- and if you haven't, why not make this the year you give it a go?
