NaPoWriThiMin

[romac1]

By popular request (well, OK, by Howard’s request), the return of NaPoWriThiMin.

30 poems in 30 days? That might seem crazy to most people, and so it is.
The challenge here is to write, sometime in April, 30 poems inside 30 minutes.

Set aside a 30 minute period during April and blast down 30 complete poems.
Only participants in NaPoWriMo can take part.
These are the only rules. Simple!

If you think it can’t be done, check last year’s thread for evidence to the contrary. Obviously, no one can check up to see if you're cheating, but there is hardly any point in cheating. Poems can be any length (and are liable to be very short!) and all thirty should be posted in a single window in this thread. You don't need titles for your poems but each should be numbered. You can't write them in six 5-minute shifts or anything like that. It must be a single 30-minute block.

You can prepare ideas beforehand, but that might be taking things more seriously than strictly necessary.

Wow.

One question: Is this instead of or in addition to any given day's NaPo poem?

[HowardM2]

I'd say whichever works better for you.

[prokopton]

I could do that.

but I might need a lobotomy afterward.

at least a stiff Scotch.

Wow, this thread was really hot last year. Where is everyone? Is it the economy?
I failed the thin mint in 2009. This year I got my 30 but I needed overtime.

My 30 in 33

I had intended to, which is why I mentioned it to Rob in the first place, but so far I just haven't had the time. Maybe I'll get a chance to squeeze it in yet.

I crapped out after the first 7 minutes and gave it up as a failure of imagination at 14 minutes. Maybe next year . . . .

I tried, thinking it would be an "easy" way to get a post completed on a day when I had almost no spare time at all. Organization, I told myself, was the key, so I spent 15 minutes making a list of 30 things about which to write. That might have been cheating. With the list complete, I started the clock, but only made it to 14 in 30 minutes. Poetry is hard.
