These poems are the result of my attemps every April to participate in poetry writing month, where the challenge is to write a poem a day.

Poetry Writing Month 2026
Well, I’ve made it to five years participating. As usual, I thoroughly enjoyed it. It’s not easy to write a poem a day, but that’s what makes it worthwhile. It makes you stop and think for 10/20 minutes every day, which is nice. This year, I managed to complete all 30 poems within the 30 days! I didn’t write one per day (sometimes, life gets in the way), but when I missed days I didn’t wait long to catch up. Looking forward to April 2027 already.
Poetry Writing Month 2025
My fourth year participating :)
- Update 8th May, 2025 :: This year I managed to write poems for all 30 of the days, although I am 8 days late. I was keeping up pretty well until about day 21 or so. Overall, I enjoyed it once again and hope to continue the tradition for years to come.
Poetry Writing Month 2024
I’m back again for the third year in a row to participate in this wonderful month of poetry.
- Update 20th May, 2024 :: I’ve completed another poetry writing month! This time I was 20 days late! But I managed 29/30 poems which is one more than last year (which itself was one more than the year before). Once again I loved participating in the challenge. For the first seven days or so I was writing a poem every day, then there was a lot of missing days and writing poems in batches later on (usually on the weekends). I had the majority of the poems completed at the end of the month, and over the last 20 days I’ve tried to pick the remaining ones off when I’ve had the time.
At some point I’d like to come back here and pick out a few of my favourites, and maybe even try to keep up the poetry writing throughout the year this time. We’ll see.
Poetry Writing Month 2023
It’s April 1st 2023, a year later. I’ve come back to this page to start adding the new poems for April 2023.
- Update Mon May 1, 2023 :: Well, I managed to complete another year of poetry writing month! Unfortunately, I fell behind over the last week, and only managed to complete 28/30 poems. It’s one better than last year at least. Once again,, I enjoyed it a lot, already looking forward to next year.
Poetry Writing Month 2022
I’ve set up this page as an attempt to participate in Global Poetry Writing Month (GloPoWriMo).
I haven’t really written any poetry before, but I do like reading it. I’m using GloPoWriMo as an excuse to try learn how to write some.
The goal is to write a poem a day for the month of April. That’s 30 poems! Well, I only found out about GloPoWriMo on the 3rd of April, so I’ve started from then.
