Well, we’ve done it again. Another National/Global Poetry Writing Month is in the books.

Our final featured participant for 2025 is grapeling, whose “askew” response to Day 30’s “songs-that-follow-you” prompt is a kind and keen reminder that there’s more than one way to experience to world.

Thanks to everyone who took up the challenge this year! We hope you enjoyed the prompts, the art/resources, and especially the community that has grown up around Na/GloPoWriMo. Speaking of that community, we extend a special shout-out for everyone who cheered along in the daily comment sections. It’s really heartwarming to see returning the same names/faces every year, and how actively and kindly you respond to each other’s work, help newbies out with questions, and create a supportive online microcosm for poetry every April.

As usual, all the prompts and posts will remain available, and the list of participating sites will stay up through early next year, when we’ll begin the house-cleaning in preparation for Na/GloPoWriMo 2026.

Thanks again, and see you next year!
