Looks like @staff mistakenly censored this comic, which is an ironic and very funny thing to happen

Here it is again. You might want to save it just in case an accident like that happens again

EDIT: HMM. LOOKS LIKE OP WAS BANNED TOO. WHAT A FUNNY. IRONIC. ACCIDENT

happy april, poets! use any prompts you'd like, and as many as you want. every poem is a victory! if you'd like to share them, tag me @trickstersaint or use #trickstersaintpril ! i'm so excited to see people's work <3

plain text prompts & more info about napowrimo below!

WHAT IS NAPOWRIMO?

national poetry writing month is in april! it's the poetry equivalent to national novel writing month (nanowrimo) in november. instead of a word count, the napowrimo challenge is to write a poem for every day!

you might also have heard it called escapril, which is the name of a challenge that used to pose napowrimo prompts every year. they stopped a couple years back, which inspired others to post prompts :)

DO I HAVE TO WRITE A POEM EVERY SINGLE DAY?

not at all! napowrimo is meant to be an inspiration, not an obligation. write as many poems as you'd like, whether that's multiple per day, or none. your goal is to get some words down. any poem that you finish the month with is a success worthy of celebrating. i probably won't post a poem every day! do what you can, and that's enough.

DO I HAVE TO BE A POET TO PARTICIPATE?

i'm the annoying kind of person who will tell you that you already are a poet if you write a poem; the conventional answer, though, is no! again, napowrimo is here to be an inspiration. if you've never written a poem before, i'd be more than delighted if you gave this a try. if you're not a poet yet, this is the april to change that :)

DO I HAVE TO SHARE MY POEM?

not at all. i would personally be delighted to see anything you guys write, but if you'd like to keep it to yourself, that's totally fine. do what you're comfortable with (or push the boundaries a little. it's good practice to be brave <3)

WHAT IF I HAVE OTHER QUESTIONS?

send in an ask! my askbox is always open (and, in fact, if you want to send in poems that way, that would work just fine).

Splash, drip, pitter-patter

A flash of light before the bang

The street a misty sheet of storm

The ode to April sang again
