4th Thursday! Patchwork Poems, Please!

It's hard to believe this is the fourth Thursday of April. But, here it is, 4th Thursday, time to show us what you've got!

From now until next Thursday, May 1, you can post the links to your poems crafted from other people's poems. Please be sure to credit your muses!

Since we're sooooo close to finishing up NaPoWriMo, why not let everyone know just how you celebrated National Poetry Month. Did you write 30 poems in 30 days? Maybe write some new poems? How did it go? Did you discover a new poet? Go to a poetry reading?

As always, thank you for participating!

3rd Thursday! Pony Up Your Poems!

Happy 3rd Thursday of National Poetry Month! Today is the day we offer up our own poems for use in next week's patchwork poem round. All week, from today until next Tuesday, you are invited to post a link to the poem of your choice for use in creating a brand new cento, or patchwork poem.

Today is also National Poem in Your Pocket Day! If you choose to participate in this very cool "holiday," why not post a link to the poem you plan on carrying around all day! Are you just going to carry it around, your secret poem? Share it with friends and family? Perhaps stand on a street corner and recite it for passers-by? Maybe you're going to make copies and pass it out for other people to carry around in their pockets? Whatever you do, let us know!

Now, get out there and share the poetry!

2nd Thursday! Patchwork Poems, Please!

I hope everyone is having an enjoyable and lucrative NaPoWriMo! Today is the 2nd Thursday of the month, so it's time to pony up your patchwork poems.

From now until next Thursday, April 17, you can post the links to your poems crafted from other people's poems. Please be sure to credit your muses!

And, this week, if you'd like, tell us a little about how you're celebrating National Poetry Month. Are you writing 30 poems in 30 days? How's it going?

As always, thank you for participating! And thanks for keeping this blog going, even as I slack off!

1st Thursday! Pony Up Your Poems!

Happy National Poetry Month! It's the first week of the month, so that means it's time to pony up your poems for the next round of patchwork poems. No restrictions this week! Any poem will do! If you're participating in 30 poems in 30 days, you should have a lot to choose from!

Please be sure to credit your muse. Please try to use whole lines of poetry as you stitch and knit your new patchwork poem together. Please tell your friends! Please forgive me, your host, for not participating in a few weeks. I have no excuse and only hope my patchwork muse will come down from the top of the giant silver maple in my backyard and play nice this week.

See you here one week from today to post links to your newly crafted poems!
