Blogging from A to Z April Challenge 2020 - Theme Reveal

-

It's that time again!

Time for the Blogging from A to Z Challenge!  There's still time to join in!  Sign ups close April 5, but you'd be late for A, B, C, and D by then, so head over here now and sign up!

 http://www.a-to-zchallenge.com/2020/03/its-time.html

If you blog, give it a go!  If you don't, it's time to start!
This challenge is fun!

Every day (minus Sundays off) bloggers around the globe will share posts with one thing in common, the daily letter of the alphabet.

Anything goes!

Recipes
Short Stories
Photographs
Quotations
Song Lyrics
Poems

That last is what will take place here, a new poem daily for 26 days beginning April 1st.

My theme then, is no surprise,

MY A to Z of POETRY

and, if you like herb gardening, I'm also participating on my other blog,

      The challenge forces me to write more poetry! I put it off otherwise.

      Thanks! Yours is one I look forward to. I always do, but this year's theme of endangered species will be extra special. It's amazing how you find tales for all the letters. And, now with the extra challenge of the stories originating from the same place as the animal? Good luck!

 For the inaugural Friday Writings at Poets and Storytellers United (no more Writer's Pantry or Weekly Scribblings, they've been melded into one with an optional prompt), I went with the prompt, albeit quite unremarkably!  A haibun, but not.  In other words, a paragraph and a 5/7/5 that is not a haiku.  Nor is it a senryu.  So, it's that "everything else" form zappai!  Can it still be called a haibun then?  🤷   Also, the first Tuesday of the month over at Tanka Tuesday is Poet's Choice.  My choice is a... um... prose/zappai, of the Taco Tuesday sort!
