:new: :new: Please note! Daghrgenzeen has been so gracious as to allow us to use her chat as a place for NaPo-ers(is that a  thing?) to meet up and chat! Feel free to go in whenever you need it. I will TRY to be in there, and maybe even schedule a day event (I would like that but I have to see how time allows...I have finals so it's tricky Lol). But don't wait on me, if you want to gather some people and go in to do your own event, or just to bounce ideas off each other, feel free. We have the green light on that. Thank you Daghrgenzeen :heart: 

The chat is: chat.deviantart.com/chat/TheLo… She has it all snazzy in there :eyes: Here's a message from her as well:

 There's a privclass for you guys, and you can promote others to the privclass. <--- :eager: So please, feel free to use this as a resource this month!

2) Write a poem using three of the following words: expensive, lampshade, bruise, convincing.

3) Write a poem in the form of a message or letter to your future self. 

4) Write a poem in the form of a lullaby.

A little Prompty Goodness...Poetry has its own National Month dedicated to it! The month of APRIL!
They even have a funny little acronym for it, NaPoWriMo. Those of us who write prose recognize this a little... Hmmm... sounds like NaNoWriMo. I am sure that is completely coincidental and the two have nothing to do with one another.
