I am happy to report I successfully completed NaPoWriMo—30 poems in 30 days.

The first 19 poems were posted here, generally in response to some prompt. The last 11 are part of a series I’m developing. Since they are such early drafts, there’s not a lot worth sharing from the poems themselves, but I do have a few observations:

• I made the notes that are the basis of these poems almost a year ago. They are structured by day over a period of time. I am finding that almost every day has a sort of theme. Some kind of image or story that resonates or repeats. Completely unintentional, just how things played out.
• I am also finding some themes that run throughout the days/poems.
• As I revise, I am wondering if I will find a way to make these themes or recurring elements more prominent through form of individual poems or structure of the series.

I may offer an update periodically, but for now it is just nice to have a big chunk of raw material to work with. 🙂
