Some of these seem interesting, but I don't know, I seem to be poetically stumped today!! Seems a bit early in the month for that!! Well now I will at least go off and learn a bit about the pantoum, so thanks for sharing these. I might use them later on in the month. If you're interested in taking a look, my poems (and other non-NaPoWriMo posts) are here: thetigerssterne.blogspot.co.ukKerridwenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07114162167451828767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9857818.post-51944986913122842972013-04-03T18:38:19.616+01:002013-04-03T18:38:19.616+01:00Hmmm, I think that's cheating.

My problem is that I started too soon and was already 4 poems ahead by the 1st of April, and maybe those don't count.<br />wendy kleinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09780104460563399244noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9857818.post-6278479678518247032012-04-07T14:17:48.773+01:002012-04-07T14:17:48.773+01:00Er...Number 7

There is no poetry in me, but these could be good for narrative writing as well.<br /><a href="http://clancytales.blogspot.com.au" rel="nofollow">Wagging Tales</a>Charmaine Clancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18059559142070140041noreply@blogger.com
