Grand!  Don't forget at least one nonsense prompt (I mean, a sensible prompt for a nonsense poem)...

30 days later

That was fun. Now, I'll go back and read and comment.

Thanks again, for putting it on, Paul!

I found it enormous fun too. I am not used to writing against a deadline, usually I would spend days or weeks on a poem so only having 24 hours really pushed me out of my comfort zone. Will it be coming back again before April?
