		....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.

		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

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

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

		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.

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

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