		<description><![CDATA[This is the last day of National Poetry Writing Month and the last day of the challenge I stumbled onto thirty days ago to write a poem a day.  I had studied poetry here and there but had rarely written it, so leaping in this way has been exhilarating and a bit surreal.    I&#8217;m eager [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[After yesterday&#8217;s sestina misadventure, I need a break from words.  So this penultimate NaPoWriMo offering is very short.  It does riff off the prompt at Read Write Poem (&#8220;I don&#8217;t think I can&#8230;&#8221;) and at Poetic Asides &#8220;(Never&#8230;&#8221;) and, although very silly (and probably not true), it does truly capture something in my mood today.

		<description><![CDATA[Poetic Asides spurred me to attempt another sestina (and so there went another day to poetry).  I also incorporated a bit of red as prompted by Read Write Poem.   Since it&#8217;s World Frog Day (sponsored by Save The Frogs!), I wrote this on frogs (building on the poem I started with random words yesterday). I&#8217;m [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In grade school, I used to love those assignments where the teacher gave us ten vocabulary words and said we had to use all of them in a story.  Those were good times, and I&#8217;ve already tried to revive them here in prose and poetry. Today, the NaPoWriMo prompt at Read Write Poem invited us [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The NaPoWriMo prompt at Read Write Poem asked us to ponder metaphysics, while the one at Poetic Asides asked for some reflection on miscommunication. This seemed like a good time to try a fibonacci poem.   The words I had only filled out a shorter sequence at the end.  I decided I liked it that way. [...]]]></description>
