And so we come to the final day of the month! Today's prompt isn't really a prompt, but just a call to write whatever we want! So I came up with something I like to think is clever. Today's poem contains a line from every poem I've written this month, in order from the 1st to yesterday, plus one final line original for today. WEW!
NaPoWriMo -- 2010
I am there
the pages are coming out.
It's all poetry.
A stunning view at the top
relaxed and carefree.
"Hey there world!"
Until the day I found out
I can only eat dirt
it is over ripe.
Don't misunderstand, though.
Melt ten ounces of bittersweet chocolate.
All that remains are the flowers--
I watch, figuratively, as their petals dry and fall.
This is the time of burning The cold's departing.
I'll just sit in the corner.
Weekends all around the year.
I am always.
Purr meow meow purr
after the explanation.
Up through the sky
the rules I forgot.
The steak is gross
to the ground;
"It keeps happening!"
With a little forethought,
I'll take to those sails,
to be happy together.
When the sun comes out,
when the rest of us
have written so many silly things this month.

Good summary - did you have to wait till today to write the last line? ;)
Great idea--has its own special charm(:
Loved it...Marcel Duchamp will be pleased!
hope it keeps happening =)
Clever idea - a variety of "found" poetry that is uniquely your own.
I love what you did here; very clever and good fun.

What a great compilation. I recognized each prompt. A poem for poets, to be sure.
Love your poem and your conception of this. Too bad this wasn't one of our prompts! Sorry I didn't seem to have your blog on my radar earlier in the month.
nice idea. i like "purr...purr after the explanation"--all explanations should include feline sound effects
