Challenge UPDATE End Of First Month

A Poem A Day Every Day For The Next Year

Hold Your Wagers, Place Your Bets. It's Gonna Be Hard To Do

____
UPDATE:
Day Five

I'm Seriously Thinking I Should Have Done "One Piece Of Literature A Day" Poetry Is Complicated When Trying To Differentiate Largely Between Pieces...
But Saying That, This Has Already Proven To Be Worth The Agrovation, I Am Actively Seeking Out Lines In Everyday Life That May Be Used In The Challenge, Like The Person I Work With Having No Real Idea Of What Life Is Like, I Won't Digress More, As I'm Not One For Public Humiliation

A Serious Thanks To All Those Who Have Already Shown Their Support By Offering Encouragement

Here's The First 5 In Case You Missed Them

UPDATE:
Day Ten

Someone Asked Ages Ago How I Write And I Didn't Really Have An Answer:
I Have Found I Do My Best Creative Work Late At Night/Early In The Morning
I Guess Has Something To Do With My Active Mind Being Closest To Becoming My Inactive Mind - Subconscious Ridden - Where Most Of My Ideas Are From
A Sort Of Delierium Occurs And I Find Myself Imaging The Words As Real Things. Thus Making It Easier To Progress With The Logics Of Progression E.g. Gravity, Morals. Yes I Know It's Weird But It Means I Fully Understand How Life Affects That Word Or Sequence Of Words. I Meerly Need To Change The Affecting Parties [Again E.g. Morals] And It All Changes Down The Line.

This Has Caused Me Problems With Posting On Here In Time... Largely Because I Start Them Generally About 11.45 Or Similar

Luckily For Poems They Are Short
I've Found That Prose Is Hard Due To Mental Blocks - When My Mind Has Transitioned From My So Called Creative State.
This Bugs Me Tremendously, As I Never Know When I Next Type/Write If What I'm Writing Is What I Would Have Written Before

I Have Also Again Managed To Write 6 In 5 Days Meaning My Current Total Is 12 From 10 Days, Meaning I may Write Upto 427 Poems This Year. Fingers Crossed I Make Between 366 And 427!
If I Do Manage That Or If You Guys Want Then I Will Post Them Up Under Here.

Here's 6-10

Thanks For The Support
And Hoping I Get A Daily Deviation Or Feature From All This Work, So My Work Can Spread And Enlighten/Inspire/Cheer Up/Anything Positive The World =]
But Don't We All Wish That?

UPDATE: Day Fifteen

I Feel My Work Has Progressed So Far Even In This Half Month, It's Really Strange To Look Back 15 Days And Think, I Wrote That? I Can Do Better. I Hope This Continues, And I Do Get Better [At Least Not Worse] So I Can Look Back On January First 2009 And Say, Wow. *Deep Breath*

I've Done Some Research And It Appears That Others Have Tried This, And One Lasted 9 Months. That's My Current Target
I Also Found Someone Else Doing This Challenge On DeviantArt, :icona-poem-a-day:
Looks Like A Little Bit Of Competition ^.^
I've Sent My Wishes, And Hope They Do Alright!

A Slight Change On Day 15, I Loved Both Poems, So I Chose To Do Two Officials On That Day. This Of Course Means I'm 18 Poems For 15 Days.
Heres 11 Through 15-2

UPDATE
Day Twenty

After Today I'm Doing The Next Update The End Of This Month, And Then Once A Month Thereafter, Simply As There's Not A Lot To Say
Obviously I'll Update If Something Comes Up

I'm Definitely Having Off Days Every Now And Again, But Equally I Have Days When I Write Lots
I Haven't Written Any More To Existing Prose Is The Main Problem I Am Facing, I REALLY Want To Progress With My Work
However As Of Today I HAVE Started Probably A Short Piece

Here's What You May Have Missed
Day 16 [link]
Day 17 [link]
Day 18 [link]
Day 19 [link]
Day 20 [link]

Thanks!

UPDATE
Day Thirty One [Technically Just First Month]

Since The Last Post I Started Reading Sylvia Plath. I Expected Complexions And From This I Disliked Her Work, The I Just Took A Step Back And Read Them Again, And I Was Proved Wrong!
From The Distance I Saw The Depth And Complexities.
She Was Very Pessimistic In Her Works, But Makes Me Smile Through Her Dry Humour. It's Hard To Believe An American So Intelligently Latched On To Real British Humour.
It Is Also Clear In Her Work That She Wa Destined To Commit Suicide, Although If You Didn't Know You Wouldn't Guess

I Started Reading Carol Ann Duffy Also, I Like Quite A Lot Of Her Work, But Some Of It Seems A Little Out There, And I Can't Quite Grasp It. She Has A Real Talent For Poetry, Unlike Practically All Writers On DeviantArt, Including Me. If She Doesn't Rhyme Then The Words Are Either Alliteration, In The Same Semantic Field Or Hundreds Of Other Styles.

Seriously Guys, Check These Two Out [If Over 16, You Probably Won't Get The Full Meaning If Much Younger Than That]

Now Down To Work!
I've Struggled On A Few Pieces, But [Correct Me If I'm Wrong] I Have Done Thirty Eight Poems In Thirty One Days. Not Bad Work I Say.

A Warning! My Work Will Be Pessimistic For A While Due To The Whole Panic Issue I Had A Few Days Ago, I'll Take A While To Get Over It, I Don't Know Why, It Just Seriously Affects Me

As Of Day Twenty One, I Started The Hundred Theme Challenge :icon100themewriters: As A Little Way Of Helping Me Do Days I Can't Think Of Themes. Largely I Find That I Am Writing Them As Secondary Ones Now, Unless I Am Short Of Time

Wow, a poem a day is quite the challenge. I could do maybe one a year.

I said to myself on something like the 26th december, lets do a poem a day, that sounds cool
on the 7th of january I realised how hard it was actually going to be :/

And by the way, Monty Python, ace! I prefer the holy grail out of the films
