It is the eve of the NaPoWriMo - National Poetry Writing Month - where you commit to writing one poem a day for the month of April. It is also the eve of April Fools Day (or in France, “poisson d'avril” (April Fish) where they put a paper fish on an unsuspecting person's back akin to the "Kick Me" signs from our youth.
Fitting, I think. Given that to make this goal I am sure to
produce things that I would (and I am sure others would agree) best consider "jokes". So with this in mind, on the
eve of this writing endevour, I am adding a standard disclaimer...
That the work contained under the label NaPoWriMo 2014 are all drafts and most I suspect will be in need of serious surgical or even supernatural revision (in drastic cases, termination). I am hoping that by doing this, I will be working out the poetry writing muscles (Ok more like strengthening the tendons and connective tissues to eventually sustain muscle growth).
Comments/feedback is welcome as this is a training experience. Just be sure to not hit too hard when slapping the carp to my spine.
