NaPM 2025

[RiverNotch]

....starts in about *four weeks! Before I start planning out the prompts, I'd like to know: what prompts would you like to see again? What new prompts would you like to see?

No guarantees all your suggestions would show up UwU

I find it hard to believe that NaPM is here already. Wasn't it April 2023 just last month?
I intend to participate more actively this year

Prompts:

1. A poem about cricket

I like simple, easy prompts, i.e write a poem involving your bed, write a poem involving a conversation you haven't had but should, write a poem involving self deception.

I also like form prompts, i.e write a poem involving x in common or ballad meter, write a sonnet involving x.

[TranquillityBase]

a surrealistic poem

a poem about a historical event or personality

[CRNDLSM]

I like to read a bunch of rondelets back to back about roughly the same topic, they almost combine to make a large meta poem

[Tiger the Lion]

I'm in agreement with Wjames. The simplest prompts seem to generate the most imagination.

[busker]

Write a poem about a rainy day

[busker]

Why not start NaPM this Thursday?
Can get a lot done over the Easter holidays

Afterwards, ‘twill sad be

[Tiger the Lion]

April 8th or 9th should be about an eclipse.

April 8th or 9th should be about an eclipse.

As the token Antipodean, I shall protest this American hegemony by writing a poem about an ellipse

[RiverNotch]

reduce, reuse, recycle! thread retitled and post ever so slightly edited for the year. i wonder if y'all will make the same suggestions as before xD

also i'm thinking of doing 32 prompts -- extra days being 31 march and 1 may -- instead of 30. i like the number 32 more, at least.

[dukealien]

32 is good.

Favorite prompt:  write a beautiful poem on an ugly subject, or vice versa.

[dukealien]

And then I realized... it isn't even the 27th yet.  Just got used to having the prompts a day early
