Exceptional

The end of the NaPoWriMo line.
not with a bang but a nonet.
this is the way the month ends;
this is how the month ends,
ends with a nonet
nine syllables
ends the month
April's
end

Congratulations on this endeavour. I shall particularly miss my daily cultural fix from your good self and my astronomical fix from Jannypan Jan. I' have learnt a lot.

Hi Pantygynt:

It is always a great day when my poetry earns me poetry in return. The day isn't over just yet, I may
yet right something. Or maybe I'll actually sleep ;) That three hour nap I called sleeping last night might not be enough.

I appreciate all of your encouragement and support in this endeavor. I believe I'm facilitating Poetry Potlatch in May, so we're off on another Poetic adventure.

I have so many reviews to get caught up on. That will keep me busy for awhile.

Thank you for this exceptional review.

Kim

And I take over from you in June.

I haven't settled on styles yet, but I have some ideas. I can't wait to see what you have in store for June.

Excellent

What can one say, that you've not heard before? The structure is strong and reads lovely off of the tongue, I can't see how one could improve this and I've looked lol. A enjoyable read for a slow Sunday early tea time.

Hi Lindagail,

I fell in love with this piece of artwork early in the month and was waiting for the perfect opportunity to best showcase her magic. She gets the credit for keeping me inspired. Thank you for the wonderful comments.

You did a great job with the challenge and I am so glad to have been in it again. Ithought I bit off more than I bargained for but I learned a lot about others and myself.

Hi Barb,

You did such a wonderful job with the Sapphonic Triads. I commend you on the choice. The quotes were inspiring all month and so was your poetry. I can't wait to get back to it again next April! I love the intensity and finding the perfect poetic inspiration in each day. Thank you for joining me in this adventure.

Excellent

A very well-written Nonet. Even when one is use to write each day it s still quite tiring to write for a certain goal. Many others think quantity is not necessarily quality. I did try my best to deliver quality, and I will be ready next year to join again, if I am still here.

Hi Sandra,

I am so happy that you joined in the fun again this year. You add so much diversity in the different styles and I believe that you bring quality work to enhance this endeavor. You and I have the same approach to this challenge. I love sharing what I learn while exploring different aspects of poetry in the month of April. (I think you and I do this all year long, but it is wonderful to highlight this aspect and share with others in our NaPoWriMo following.) Thank you for participating and adding such rich work all month long.

Hi Jan,

I truly believe you are correct in y our estimation of the NaPoWriMo challenge. It has been an excellent month in terms of the participation and following from the readers/reviewers, too. Thank you so much for your encouragement and support. I'm going to do my best to keep the magic alive as the facilitator for Poetry Potlatch in May. I've been intending to use this artwork since I discovered it at the beginning of the month. Her magical inspiration kept me going every day. The nonet seemed to match her light and airy nature, especially in this last week. She's just what I needed for the finale.

I appreciate your wonderful comments and your friendship!

Kim
