Hello, all. It’s March 1, which means it’s getting to be that time of year again. Time to start putting on our poetical thinking caps, and gear up to write thirty poems across the month of April.

Whether you’re just learning about Na/GloPoWriMo or returning for the umpteenth time, the idea is simple: Write a poem a day for the month of April. That’s thirty days, thirty poems. That’s the only rule! (And if you break it, remember — there are no poetry police. No one will come hunt you down. It’s fine. This is all for fun!)

To help you along, we’ll be posting a prompt every day through the month, along with a special “early-bird” prompt on March 31, to help tide over all those on the other side of the international date line from Na/GloPoWriMo headquarters, and for whom April begins a few hours earlier than it does here in Maine, USA.

Perhaps you are wondering what you should do with your daily efforts? Well, if you have a blog or other website, feel free to post them there, and then you can link to your daily efforts in the comment section for each day’s prompt. The comment sections are lively and friendly, and you can access them by clicking on the title to each day’s post. You can also submit your blog or website for inclusion in our list of participants’ sites – just click the “Submit Your Site!” link at the top of the page.

Finally, if you would like a little website button or banner to reflect your participation in Na/GloPoWriMo 2026, you can find a few options below.

We’ll be back around March 15, with a little status post that will give you some insight into what we’re working on for April. In the meantime, f you have questions in the meantime, please contact us at napowrimonet AT gmail DOT com.
