National Poetry Month 2021 Billy throwback

[CRNDLSM]

Edit* Below is stolen from Leanne 2016



National Poetry Month (US) will kick off on 1st April and as usual The Pig Pen will run a series of prompts/challenges in Milo's forum.



This year, all posts in this forum will be exempt from the "3 critiques for new members" rule, so anyone can sign up and join in.  Tell your friends, your nemeses, the guy who walks your dog, your dog, your dog's friend Sam -- anyone, from any part of the world, is welcome. 



All other rules of The Pig Pen must be followed, of course, but they're not too onerous.  The point of NaPM is to get you writing, not to judge or discourage in any way.


Let the mayhem begin!

*Original

this will be the list for NaPoM 2019:

To create the list copy and paste the complete previous post and fill in the next empty number with a topic and details of how to post it: e.g. 1 A poem about flip-flops, rhyming, 8 lines or more.

I'll start;

1 A poem of fear, at least 8 lines must use the word lemon-drop/s
