On Completing the A to Z Challenge
That does it!
Today is May Day. Let’s celebrate? This day marks the completion of the month-long A to Z blogging challenge, as well as National Poetry Writing Month (NaPoWriMo).
What a feeling to have completed both tasks!
OK, I didn’t post 30 poems here, but 28 (see complete April list – below). However, I published additional poems during April, like those linked here, so the NaPoWriMo challenge is complete.
At the request of the A to Z Challenge organizers, here's my summation of the experience.
A-B-Seized
The gauntlet was tossed out to see,
A challenge from A clear to Z.
We posted each blog,
A month-full to log,
And welcomed our readers with glee.
Now April is spent. Hello, May!
The alphabet challenge gives way.
Yet posts will persist;
For we cannot resist
Partaking in wildest word play.
For letters are love in a swarm
To practice, pretend and perform.
And ink is a drug
That helps us unplug
Whenever life sends us a storm.
Thanks to all the faithful fellow bloggers and writing colleagues and readers for visiting and commenting throughout the A to Z Challenge. Welcome, new subscribers and blog followers.
Here are my A to Z Challenge posts for 2011:
