Hello, everyone! We have just two days to go until April, and the
beginning of National Poetry Writing Month/Global Poetry Writing Month.
One surefire way to get inspired to write some poetry is to actually
read some poetry! There are a few good daily-poetry websites out there,
including
Verse Daily,
Poetry Daily, and
Poem-A-Day. Sites like these are a great way to add a little poetry to your life, and to discover new poets and books.
Also, for those of you who will be posting your work to a personal
website, we have some “blog buttons” that you can place on your site.
These are totally optional – use them if you like them, ignore them if
you don’t!

We’ll be back tomorrow with an early-bird prompt for those of you
located in areas of the world where April 1 comes a few hours earlier
than it does in Washington, DC, current home of NaPoWriMo.net.
In the meantime, if you’d like us to link to a website where you’ll
be posting your work, you’ll need to submit the web address using the
“Submit Your Site” feature above. And you can always follow our prompts
and other posts on
Facebook and on
Twitter
My arms reach out
to embrace green hills,
to hold heart-close
spring’s pulsing thrill.
With passion flush,
and grateful tears
I gaze on the forest
for I know you are near!
I can hear your song
in the sea-borne breeze.
Your golden voice fills
green lilting trees.
Oh give me more wine!
Your grapes and your vines,
make the night sublime
with spring’s sweet life,
eternally bounding
from boundless time.
