I admire all those who took up the challenge. I knew I wasn't up to doing a poem a day. Maybe in a future year. Great job for getting this far and being able to write a humorous poem about the achievement and how close you have come!

Hi Debra,
This is a cute and witty poem about how fast you will have to write to finish this prompt. I can understand how full time work makes this harder.
I did this a few years ago and found in stressful and frustrating to write so many poems while working even just 30 hours a week. I did it. But I won't try again until after I retire. It took the fun out of writing.
Keep writing and stay healthy and hopeful that you will do it.

Hi Debra,
You can have them written and get it posted at whatever midnight EST on May 1 translates to in your time zone. For me, that is 8 pm on April 30, because I am in Alaska.
I hope that helps!
Good luck!

Oh no Debra. I haven't been the most diligent reviewer, as life events got in the way (Lance died yesterday), but I've been rooting you on. I'm on schedule, but of course now I have to work out how to write the ending. Not so obvious... Hugs Kay

Hello kay, I'm so sorry for your loss. I know you've been expecting it, but it doesn't make it any easier to bear. You are in my thoughts at this sad time. RIP Lance... Sending love, Debra x

I post two poems a day but I don't work full time. I know that's quite a challenge. Nice entry for the NaPoWriMo's challenge.

Comment from Pam Lonsdale
I only know a handful of you on FS that took on this challenge. I admire each of you for even trying! Maybe you'll make your goal, maybe you'll have to carry it into May. So what? Are the poetry police going to whisk you away?
I've enjoyed the many poetic forms and subjects I've seen from NaPoWriMo's participants these many days.
But good luck in making your goal!

Ok, Debra, you've made it this far, so keep going.
I enjoyed your fun poem. I realize the stress--been
there done that. Your poem was well thought out and
filled with good descriptions and imagery.
Thanks for sharing,
Keep writing, Jan

Comment from Gloria ....
April does seem to be a very busy month, and then full time, my word!
If you post one more today and then two a day thereafter you can make it, yes?
If not, you are already a champ.
Much enjoyed this Debra. :)

I think it is an accomplishment even if you don't complete the full month of poems. You have written some beautiful things and I was really blessed by reading them. Have a good day and God bless. Patricia.
