7. What surprised you most about writing a poem a day?
That it was easier than last year. Given that my kids are toddlers and require more of me, I'm surprised that I wrote almost every day. Some days I had to double up to stay on track, but generally I started a poem midday and posted it around midnight.
8. Now that you have the momentum, what’s next?
Taking a day off next week (I hope) so that I can organize, start revising, and begin to send out poems for publication.

Ah thanks! Glad you liked that one. It was fun to rant, I mean, write!
Happy END OF National Poetry Month!!
We've been busy!
congrats for getting through it.
Ummmm...number of poems written in April zero, which makes the answer to the second one zero as well, and most of the rest impossible to answer.
Perhaps I'll check through yours and see which I like most :)
I really should get writing again, though I find it hard to turn my attention to words after days filled with numbers.
here's my response to the meme
Carolee, I'll check out your blog next!!
Catherine, next year is your year!
Kelli, I wish I had tried a rant, or a new form. Oh well, I didn't think I'd finish out the month!
Happy end of National Poetry Month!
Congrats, Poetmom! You accomplished a heck of a lot this month.
Participated in the meme :) on my own... came over from ReadWritePoem.
Thanks for this meme; it was very therapeutic! I had a less than enjoyable NaPoWriMo, although it had a few moments of brilliance. Thinking about and answering those questions helped me figure out why.
Congratulations on completing the month. You inspired me to do my own poetry practice. It was transformative.
