The start of this blog goes back to 2014 and National Poetry Writing Month. 2021 marks the eighth time I’ve met the challenge of writing a poem for every day of April.
I wrote 39 poems for the month. 21 of those met the prompts from Maureen Thorsen at napowrimo.net. (I also met the early bird prompt on March 31.) 12 were in response to other prompts, including those for dVerse ~ Poets Pub, earthweal, Colleen Chesebro’s #Tanka Tuesday, and a haiku sequence for Frank Tassone’s #Haikai Challenge. Six of my poems followed no prompt at all. Four of the poems included audio, and one was a magnetic poem.
I enjoyed reading the many wonderful prompt responses from other poets at napowrimo.net, and it was nice to see that recognition was given to many of the poets I’ve come to know over the years. Thank you to all who read my poetry this past month and especially to all who commented.

Always good to read your work, Ken. I guess I’ll go back & take inventory myself…Smart move.

That’s quite an accomplishment Ken. I think I’ve only managed all 30 days 3 times. (K)

Thanks, Kerfe.
Although I didn’t meet every one of the month-long prompts, this year’s seemed easier than past years. That may be because I didn’t sweat it. If they came, they came.

I probably did half the prompts, pretty good for me. I don’t force it, because then I just get frustrated.
