Everyone game for another Write of Fall starting November 1st?
Some great poems last year, so again, I'll be keeping it simple and mostly free of rules.

Prompts will most likely appear the evening prior - the first coming Oct 31.

I'll write as many as I can.
It's good to have something that helps you set some time aside to sit down and work on making something, rather than relying on some nebulous idea that might never pop in your head to spur making something.

Agreed. 30 poems in 30 days sometimes feels forced- but so often 3 or 4 of them make the whole of the exercise worthwhile.

Like "forced rhyme" - all rhyme is forced, it's only a question of forced by talent/inspiration or lack of those things

I'd struggle to write 30 poems in 30 months but yeah I'll give it a shot.
I don't know if you're looking for prompt suggestions, but if you are then a 'Blues Poem' would be my shout. Interesting to see what people come up with.

Where would these poems appear if one were to participate (I realize I'm too late for this one)?

Really enjoyed reading everyone's poems last month. I 've managed 9 so far, still writing. Might try go again this month and pretend it's November for the ones I missed.
Did anyone write anything they think might be worthy of workshopping?
Did anyone see anything they liked and think should be workshopped?
I've posted 9 poems now without critiquing anything else first and I feel really dirty.

Thanks for taking part, guys. We're not as busy as we used to be but we still managed to generate almost 200 poems.
@Magpie - I'm pretty sure Rivernotch will be doing "Pigmas" again/ usually starts a few days before Christmas.
