April is NaPoWriMo, short for National Poetry Writing Month – though these days, like NaNoWriMo, it’s an international event.
It was started in 2003 by American poet Maureen Thorson, who decided to write a poem a day and post them on her blog. Since then, poets from all over the world have taken up the challenge, and poems spring up every April faster than daffodils in Wordsworth’s garden at Grasmere.
To find out more, you can visit the NaPoWriMo website. But to join in, all you need to do is write a poem and post it somewhere – on a blog, on Facebook, wherever the fancy takes you.
Share it with the world, get out there, and support your fellow poets by reading their contributions.
