This NAPOWRIMO poem, On the First Day of April, I have perceived, or been led to believe that "the quest now is to keep time." Okay.

Comment from Eternal Muse
This is so much fun! I liked your imagery here, what you would do on the 1st day of April, 2nd day of April and so on. Great imagery, wit and flow. A very uplifting poem, not to mention your artwork!

Hi ytbard, Thank you for your review for my April days I stopped at 10 thought 30 stanzas would be too much LOL Must some some for later Cheers Christine
Comment from Gloria ....
I absolutely adore the musical flower notes. That's the way they should be instead of those little black dots.
Excellent post in your lively cadence and perfect rhymes. You are off to a terrific start with only 28 more to go.
You are in the zone and I'm loving it.

Comment from lyenochka
That's how I feel wondering if I can keep this up all through April. That was a good idea to use an ever growing versification like Twelve Days of Christmas and showing us how we might feel like giving up....!

Hi Lyenochka, Thank you for your review for my poem for this April challenge I won"'t give up and hope to keep a poem a day .I never know what I am going to write until I start so quite a few brain cells to use this month Ha Ha Cheers Christine
Comment from Mark Valentine
Nice - keep following this pattern and you could have a novel by month's end. I like how the "give me a sign so I can see the quest now is to keep time" lines keep getting pushed further down as the new rhymes get inserted into line two - nice technique - very creative. Your April is off to a good start.

Comment from Susan B. Lamphier
Wow! What can I say? Brilliant, comes to mind. I've never seen anything like that before. You've kept to the scheme carefully, and progressed (is that a word?) the poem along as well. Do you have a rhyming dictionary? Close by my side every time I try to write poetry. Well done! I'm really looking forward to what comes next from you!

Comment from Sharon Haiste
I think this is a good entry for the National Poetry Month writing prompt.
Your story trying to up the rhyme is clear within your verse.
Good luck to you with the competition.

Comment from aryr
This was rather unique and I gather very time consuming to come up with the idea of a poem based on the twelve days of Christmas. It was a very appropriate and catchy picture. It was interesting that you were so encouraged at the beginning but definitely was waning at the end, but you shall move on, I have faith in you. Well done and good luck.
