I did it!!!!!

I finally submitted my "best five" poems to the April 2010 PAD Poetic Asides challenge , just crawling under the "midnight (Georgia/Ohio time) on May 5, 2010"‏ deadline. On July 4th there'll be an announcement of top poems from the month and Poet Laureate, not that I expect to make either of those. But there's a certain satisfaction to knowing I really did write a poem a day for thirty days, and managed to whittle the thirty down to only five favorites. There's a certain satisfaction to the word "submission" too. I made a submission! I did it!!!

Writing a poem a day in April

Writers' Digest is posting a poetry prompt on http://blog.writersdigest.com/poeticasides/ each day in April. I guess it's sort of a competition, but with around a thousand entries a day I don't suppose I'll win anything. Still, it's a fun challenge, and there's lots of good poems to read. Hope to see you there. Meanwhile, there's so many great Amazon Breakthrough Novel entries to download - www.amazon.com/shorts . Do give Divide by Zero a look if you get time. Thanks.
