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

- 2013's Crystal Ball
Blurry and full of fog?
What will come
is some
Hope and Joy and Wonder and Love
that
We can combine
and
mix with gratitude
to build
the best future available now.
A good receipt
but
skip all of the
fear and distrust
(do not add any blame)
There is a short time
we each stay on earth.
We pass the ball
to
the next generations quickly.
So....I
put out my hand with a prayer
and look ahead with a smile
at the next
generation.
Hay all....open your wings!
Build energy!
Try something new!
2013
Let's go for the gold!
Rae Ann Hoehn
a poem by becca givens
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.
April is internation Nutrition month,
National Poetry in Fitbit Shape month
