NaPoWriMo, You Slay Me

Today is the last day of National Poetry Writing Month. One poem every day for the month of April. Well, the upside is that I have 30 poems to work with--of which I would say probably 14 or 15 are worth spending time with and revising. The downside? I accomplished very little else this month. All other writing projects were pretty much sidelined. The 30 poems:
1. Forgetting
2. Moving Underground
3. Xeriscape
4. Cartier-Bresson in India
5. August 1978, Vermont
6. Crackpot
7. Girls in a Tavern
8. Rewiring
9. Sign the Guestbook
10. Shushing
11. Hell is for Travelers
12. Silent Treatment
13. Pogonip
14. Blues Bass Line
15. Parts of a Bell
16. Parts of a Bell 2
17. Lightfast
18. Breaking News
19. Winter Garden
20. Things that Fall
21. Caulbearer
22. Fractality
23. Heartwood
24. Ocean #1
25. Gravity is One of the Human Senses
26. Mother at the Mirror
27. Zen Babies
28. In Trouble
29. Bokhara
30. They Come
I'm glad I did it, but I think I prefer my regular routine: write about 10 poems a month, pick the best 5 to revise. Congrats to all the NaPoWriMo survivors!
