National Poetry Writing Month has this tendency to roll around once every year, and this year I didn’t need to be challenged by anyone else. This year my challenge is with myself, to write one poem per day and one poem only and to get through this without the help of my manic muse! Here are my offerings.
Day 1: All The Things You’re Not
Day 2: Easter
Day 3: A Million And One Ways To Say Good-bye (off prompt)
Day 4: A Love Poem Without Love
Day 5: Fame On The Go
Day 6: Goodbye is All I Know
Day 7: Word Count
Day 8: Forgiveness Given
Day 9: Flat Words, Small Words (off prompt)
Day 10: The Dark Story
Day 11: Life is a Balancing Act (off prompt)
Day 12: In the Era of Rock n’Roll
Day 13: Light of the World
Day 14: Interview With Myself Part II (four years later)
Day 15: The Dancing Girl
Day 16: Struggling with Form
Day 17: Tired Haikus
Day 18: The Vacuum Cleaner
Day 19: The Chameleon (off prompt)
Day 20: Nothing At All
Day 21: Once Upon A Time (Unforgiven)
Day 22: Springtime Pastoral
Day 23: Blown Away Words (off prompt)
Day 24: Breakfast is served

Day 30: The End is Here
As you can see I didn’t fulfil my 30/30 this year. Or at least I didn’t write at least one poem per day for thirty days. The fact is that I wrote 50 poems in 30 days, but there was one day I wrote nothing at all… I think I’ll aim for being OK with that… You decide for yourself.
