This year's National Poetry Writing Month stretch felt different.
I wish I didn't have to break the Emergency Haiku Glass as much as I did when I was on vacation, but overlooking that sad period, it wasn't too bad.
In fact, his is the first NaPoWriMo where I actually felt better about the work as I kept going.
For the first time in years, I got out of the funk I usually get in when I'm writing the poems at the end of April.
Usually when I read over my poems at the end of April, I can't help but feel a little embarrassed.
No woe is me I can't hack it anymore poems to close out this month.
I got tired of my own self pity.
Took me long enough.
And for the first time in a long time, I'm actually looking forward to writing more poetry in May.
I hope some of my fellow participants felt a fraction of the same way I do right now.
Congratulations to all who participated, however far you got.
