Good job, Mer...I liked your finisher.
I think I'm going to wait until June before beginning a new one, feel like joining me?
Masochist, are we??
June is far enough away that my common sense may just be outvoted. The only thing is I'll be trying to post a story for the Nude Day contest that has a deadline in June, and that my be too much. But let's see.
I do think that having several poets doing it together is much easier - inspiring and playing off each other off and on. I enjoyed that, thank you!

Congrats on finishing the 30/30 Mer! Love the poem: it's an acrostic, yes?
And of course, your prize (just think of the forum like a box of crackerjack lol)~
It is an acrostic.
And wow - a badge! Thank you!
(I hope this means yay! and cool!, cause that's how I'm using it.)

PS I tried for an acrostic, but I just realized I missed a line! Drat and damn!!

Don't be too hard on yourself! I got what it meant.
Anyway you can always add the line...

Don't think of it as a missed line, think of it as a typo. Who hasn't made a typo when spelling something, right?

Dearest Remec,
Don't break down, buddy! I'm working up the fortitude to join in. I need a theme! And maybe we can convince a few others to take up the challenge.
good themes, missed lines, typos, and opportunities

Does this mean you'd be in? Theoretically?

*sigh* I'd love to be in; the past two years of abstinence have been hard

Looks like more are picking it up...and a theme would be good. Have anything in mind, yet?

LOL! I don't even have an idea for a poem yet today! You have any theme ideas?
Calli! Great to see you in the killer thread. Got theme?
P'tor, I am ever a masochist for poems....

Words seem to be dancing a quadrille over on that 30/30 thread. The whirling and stomping are infectious.

Thanks.
I have no theme. Unless trying to force myself to put some words together is a theme. This one will be as haphazard for me as the others.

Truth to tell a theme does not necessarily make the effort less haphazard (at least in my experience).

Thanks Harry.
I don't like the ending: I feel like it could be better. (And I won't be writing about writing for another 28 days. That theme falls flat fast.)
I saw Apollo astronaut Jim Lovell (sp?) speak at a teachers' convention many years ago, so I may yet have a spaceship captain poem in me lol.

Do join! If you start today, you can write a masochism poem too!
I would have loved to join, but can't - I have too little time, unfortunately, and you all set the bar very high! I don't want to be a masochist caught with my pants down... but I am reading and watching from the sidelines.

I understand. I begin these journeys with reticence and some resignation. It's always a bumpy ride lol.
