[Quixilated]

Congratulations, y’all have made it to the end!! The contributions this month have been spectacular. Special kudos especially goes to Todd, Keith, and Dukealien who never missed a single day!  


Rules: Write a poem for national poetry month on the topic or form described. Each poem should appear as a separate reply to this thread. The goal is to, at the end of the month, have written 30 poems for National Poetry Month.  Anyone is welcome to answer these prompts at any time, even after this challenge has ended.  Don’t be shy! 

Topic: endings or beginnings.  
The end of anything is also the beginning of what comes after, and every beginning is forged from the end of whatever came before.  Write about the end of something or write about the beginning of something.  Poet’s choice.  

Form: any
Line requirement: any

Questions?

And here is where I leave you until next April.  When we almost forgot about NAPM and had to scramble to get the first post up in time, I thought it was an ill omen for the challenge and my expectations were very low.  But you have rallied and made it wonderful and I am delighted with all the gorgeous poems I got to read this month.  Every day I couldn’t wait to see what new treasures would appear.  Thank you all so much, everyone who participated!
