Couldn't we take ONE day each and write our 30 April poems (starting April 1) for/on that day?

Yay, I choose April 30!
I delegate Jaragorn to April 1 and
Ahavarwen to April 2
to allow the "captaincy" to lead by "zample."

Hahaha!

April 1st and thereafter is when everyone can write as many poems as they want, but only post 1 per day.  

Come on all you "sittin' on the fencer's"! You have absolutely nothing to lose!

More fun filled facts, but this time about Sauron. Everything you wanted to know about the Dark Lord and more, but don't have time to read in any books.

Sauron’s History in Middle-earth, Explained

https://nerdist.com/article/sauron-history-lord-of-the-rings-middle-earth-explained/

Servant of Morgoth

Before we get into Sauron, it’s best to start with his predecessor and the first Dark Lord of Middle-earth: Morgoth. First known as Melkor, he was a Valar—or one of the most powerful beings in Arda. He was created by Eru Ilúvatar, the supreme deity. Melkor was there from the beginning of creation, and came to Arda with the other Valar. Originally a pure being, he eventually rebelled against his creator, obtained the name Morgoth, and was ultimately cast out of Arda and into the Void. But before all that happened, he attracted the attention of another soon-to-be Dark Lord.

Sauron began his days as Mairon (“the admirable”), a powerful Maia—spirits who came to Arda to help the Valar shape the world. (Other Maia include Gandalf and Saruman.) He was a pure and orderly being in the beginning, who studied the craft of forging. But he grew selfish, and eventually aligned himself with Morgoth. Though he served the Dark Lord Morgoth, he didn’t necessarily believe in the exact same things. While Morgoth was obsessed with conquering, Mairon wanted to dominate the minds and wills of Arda’s creatures.

During his time with Morgoth, Mairon was deceptive. He maintained appearances, pretending to be faithful to the other Valar, But when Morgoth established his place in Middle-earth, Mairon dropped the charade and made his allegiance with the Dark Lord known. It is then that he came to be known as Sauron, or “the abominable.”

Hahaha! Wally, what a great asset to Team NaPo you are!















note : autocorrect changed "asshat" to "asset"

I've watched it 3 times this month . . . is that too much ... or not enough ..?

Only Treebeard is allowed to drop a Haiku during NaPo!

Everyone else, bring your 50, unique word A-game!

If you haven't registered yet, now is the time!  

tick tock tick tock tick tock. . .once it's too late it's too late! No exceptions made. It is better to lead a noble poetic attempt and withdraw honorably than miss the chance altogether.
