Finally we have come to the close of another successful NaPoWriMo. May I take this opportunity to congratulate each and every one of you who have managed to write a poem each day of April. Also, I would like to thank everybody at Read Write Poem for the wonderful prompts and encouragement each day. And finally I must mention Maureen Thorson without whom there would be no poetry writing month. And Finally finally, if you didn't do it this year, I encourage you to have a go next year.
SIDE BAR LINKS
You will find links to my poems for each day of the 2010 NaPoWriMo in the side bar on this blog. And if you're interested you will also find links to my 2009 entries and a further 200 poems which are posted on these pages.
MY OTHER BLOGS
I have another poetry blog which is an archive that deals mainly with my earlier work, it's called StraightTalkingStreetTalkingSweetTalkingGuy. Then I have my main blog, Proper Joe's which I have had since 2006. I also have a couple of work-in-progress-novels, which have taken a bit of a back seat in recent months, and I write a monthly column in Nicola Batty's Online Newsletter Raw Meat each month.
INVITATION
I would like to invite you to have a go at my NaiSaiKu Challenge? I put up a new post every Tuesday. If you write HaiKu this is easy! And it's never too late to have a go...
For those of you who write flash fiction, I have The American Sandwich game... If you like/write Allen Ginsberg style American Sentences, then you just might like this too!
NaiSaiKu SAMPLES
Here's a couple of previously unpublished samples of the NaiSaiKu style. The first one is a palindrome.
