And, that's a wrap!

Unless Tzara, Snow, or someone else wants to throw in some extra credit in these last hours.

Big congrats to Angie, Moochie, Piscator, and Lev for putting in their thirty!

And, Remec, you came close with that big push, and with some damn good poetry, towards the end. Was lovely having you with us.



Hopefully, I'll see you all in the next challenge I think I'm doing, as well as Piscator's month-long challenge in May. But, first.. a recovery break for a week or two.

Thank you all (Neo and Mer, too!) for taking part in this challenge. I never imagined so many would join in or how good, how fun, it would be. It's been a crazy month, and even when I struggled, you made me so glad I instigated this

Thank you, Calli, for starting this thread/challenge. As others have said, there's been a lot of good poetry written here, and I've really enjoyed reading each day's submissions. My intention is to comment on many of the poems, but please don't hold me to that—I'm about three weeks behind in my philosophy class, so I may be dormant for a while.

It was, though, really great to see our small but dedicated community write such interesting and divergently themed poems.

You all help me see the world with more clarity. So, thanks.

Tod, you write so honestly and well, it's all I can do to write more than you. As if that worked.

Kind of a guy one-upmanship thing. You should consider trying to get your work published, dude. Your best work is that good.

 

[Piscator]

Tod, you write so honestly and well, it's all I can do to write more than you. As if that worked.

Ditto and I find it inconceivable that you do all this on your phone.

I'm awed by all of you. Remember, even if you didn't get all 30 poems in in April. Keep going and I'll still love your words... Helluva 30 days though folks. I enjoyed reading you even if I didn't often say it

I can only agree, it's been 30 fun days reading through all the contributions
...and a notes app is a real lifesaver for ideas, esp. in the nites.

It was an honor and a privilege to share the space with all of you. North of 300 poems in a month? We can all be proud of that - and to a poet, we all wrote some good poems in here. Those last two weeks, I didn't get in here to comment the way I would have liked to, but I read all of them and I know that I'll be coming back to this thread a lot in the future.

Thanks again to Calli for getting this going, and thanks and congrats to everyone that contributed.

I hope you share a picture when she has her coronation

between sand and stones
The Queens enthroned
till 'you lived it for long'
and a peasant, again, alone​
