motivation for NaPM

[billy]

what you say is fine, i just think that fluff and funny somehow go hand in hand. i think the NaPM is more for fun than fine-honing any poetic talents we think we have. it's all about getting something out there.

I don't have the motivation. The last thing I want to do is put rushed writing up here. There are other avenues for such exercises. I too find the poetry for NaPM fluffy, but perhaps worse than that, I don't enjoy reading it. When I know that a poem received very little time to mature, it's hard to believe that reading it is worth much time either (not to be critical of anyone's work, just the way I view it).
