NaPoWriMo 2008

It’s (Inter-)National Poetry Writing Month, otherwise known as NaPoWriMo. The idea is to write a poem on every day of April. I’ve done it three years running, but this year I’ve decided to challenge myself to write a single poem – in around thirty sections - over the thirty days. Given that the longest poem I’ve ever written so far clocks in at about 70 lines, this is unknown territory for me.

Anyway, I’ve started a NaPoWriMo thread for this poem and I’ll add to it each day. I’ll also build an index of links for each day at the beginning of the thread to make it easy to find each daily section. If I run out of steam halfway, I’ll need a new idea quick!
