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)
