Here are links to my NaPoWriMo 2013 scribbles. From Day 8, I developed a storyline right through to Day 30 and, though I say so myself, it’s worth sticking with it to the end.
Day 1 – Inspired by Maya Angelou’s, ‘I know why the caged bird sings’
Day 2 – A poem that tells a lie
Day 3 – A sea shanty (after being told to write something personal)
Day 4 – Iain M Banks’ names for spaceships
Day 5 – A Cinquain
Day 6 – A Valediction
Day 7 – Declarative sentences – last line a question
The saga begins
Day 8 – Ottava rima
Day 9 – Noir
Day 10 – Un-love poem
Day 11 – Tanka
Day 12 – Things you’d like to say but never would
Day 13 – Go for a walk
Day 14 – Persona poem
Day 15 – Pantun
Day 16 – Translation
Day 17 – Hello
Day 18 – Start and finish with the same word
Day 19 – Personal ad, in the form of a Tanka
Day 20 – Five words from a list
Day 21 – Fortune cookies
Day 22 – Pastoral
Day 23 – Triolet
Day 24 – Anagram me
Day 25 – Ballad
Day 26 – Haiku
Day 27 – A saying and the internet (Jimi Hendrix)
