| I challenge you! |
If you want to write a poem a day, you shouldn't complain that nobody's challenging you!
Are you up for it?
Over on Cuyahoga County Public Library's 30 Days of Poetry site, the first challenge is up:
April 1: Think about opposites:
- If we could make April Fool’s Day into April Sage's Day, how would it be celebrated? Write a poem of decrees for such a day.
Meanwhile, the Writing Knights have set up their own challenge-a-day for the month of April. Their challenges will all dealing with "vestigal words". The goal is to use the word in that day's poem:
Writing Knights April 1 challenge:
- Today's word is: Agelast: a person who never laughs. Use the word in today's poem.
And, over at "Poetic Asides," Robert Lee Brewer kicks off another month of April poetry challenges:
PAD Challenge, day 1:
- For today’s prompt, write a resistance poem. There are many forms of resistance, including militant resistance, resistance to new ideas, the resistance in exercise, and maybe even a little resistance to starting a new project. I hope you don’t resist the urge to write a poem today.
--Post your challenge poem to the comments of Poem A Day.

...and now the April 2 challenge is up from 30 days of poetry:
"Write about an event from a special day.
Look up the year that one of your parents was born on Wikipedia and write a poem about an event that took place then."
...and the April 2 Challenge from Writing Knights:
"The goal is to use the word in that day's poem.
Today's word is: Cachinnate: laughing very loudly.
... and the Poem A Day April 2 challenge
"For today’s prompt, write a secret poem. The poem itself could be a secret, or it could be about keeping secrets or, I suppose, not keeping them. Or maybe it’s about a top secret project, or the poem is a riddle with some sort of secret meaning. Or, well, I’ll let you figure out how best to poem secretively."
Thank you for the shout out!
