In observance of National Poetry Month, join writers around the world and participate in the 30/30 Challenge. Write 30 poems in 30 days. Long poems, short poems, structured poems, shape poems, all kinds of poems! There will be "tips to try" for each day of the Challenge, as well as examples both famous and obscure.
For more information, see http://www.napowrimo.net/
April 1 is April Fool's Day, so try a poem that is about a fool (think circus clowns, court jesters or maybe "fools for love")
Write a humorous poem, perhaps a limerick.
If you want to start small, REALLY small, write a series of 6-word memoirs.
For example:
"Six words: So much left unsaid."
"My words were simply not enough."
"Everything, in just six words? Impossible."
Choose your best piece and enter it in the comments section and when I get a chance to read it, I'll share it publicly. Please submit using only your name and last initial or simply your initials.
so much fun, too many ideas

Between tongue and cheek
Pranking? It's fun
