If you get a few decent ones out of the group I feel it is a win :) But sometimes blogging about it each day is even harder than writing the poems themselves.

Exhausting, yes, but the poems had more of a unified feel and tone than if they'd been done the conventional way. It was fun. All it took was discipline - and coffee. Lots and lots of coffee. Lots. -Rolli www.rolliwrites.blogspot.com Tried the poem a day thing, too. Exhausting, yes, but the poems had more of a unified feel and tone than if they’d been done the conventional way.

Somehow in losing our self consciousness, I think we find a bit of magic. Thanks, Ada, for this article. I love the wild flurry of a poem a day made public.

I wrote a poem a day my first year in law school ('98), and still on occasion write more than one a day, but my days of writing a poem a day for any extended period of time are long over. It takes enormous stamina. Thirty in one month is a significant accomplishment, and folks doing that this April should be proud of their commitment. Thanks for this note, Ada, and happy NaPoWriMo. -- Seth As someone else who wrote poetry while in law school, I’d like to give kudos to Maureen and the others who are writing daily this month.

One would end up with many bad poems, but the sheer number of good poems would make up for it. Just a thought.
