NaPoWriMo was first held in 2003. It is an annual project where participating poets write a poem each day of April. There are optional prompts given by the site for writing. You don’t need a blog for taking part. You just need to promise yourself that you will write a poem every day of April.

Poetry & writing are to me, a breath of fresh air in a life that is sometimes covered by the smoke of sorrow or self doubt. They also become the sweets I share to celebrate when life offers me a reason to. But most of all, they are to me, my life. For each word I write is a piece of my heart, a thought that just had to find its way into the world.
Reminded me of S and his endless chatter 🙂
Yes, I thought it would, Jb 😀
Awww….that was really cute! I would love to hear what the Dad answers to all these ques! 😉
Thanks, Aditi 🙂 The dad’s confounded. Can’t reply. I checked 😉
Aww… that is so cute! Those are perfectly legitimate questions too 😀
Yeah. Very legitimate, NJ 😀
