[Tiger the Lion]

Hey, pigsters, two weeks until NaPM 2016. 30 poems in 30 days sparked by the always interesting milo. In past years some have achieved the full 30. Although I am not one of them, it was delightful torture to try.

I hope you all join me in posting the less than perfect poems that can be written in a day and dealt with later. If nothing else it gets the brain and blood flowing.

So, I dare you, each and every one of you. A lot of the fun is reading what other members come up with so without your participation we have nothing. Novice or Pro, we're ready for you.

Double dare you.

I cannot stress how much I learned last April. It's much more than just a fun exercise. I promised myself I'd write 30 in 30 even if every one of them turned out to be total crap. Some of them did, maybe most, but I came away with 2 to 5 poems I was really pleased with (and will edit further when their time comes). Especially for my skill level at that time. I am eternally grateful to Milo, Todd, Ray, Ellajam, Dale, Mercedes and everyone else who facilitated and contributed last year. I think Mercedes posted the first poem last year within about 8 minutes of the first prompt. That's when I figured out that terror and inspiration were a perfect mix for me. I finally "got over myself."
Novice or pro, this is a win/win game. Play, play, play.
