Hi, nomoth. The date is not required; only the number ( which we prefer ). However, because we don't have it in the rules that you can't add a date after the number, we're letting it ride ( but definitely just prefer the number for quick reference ).
You are correct, correlates with the day and month.
I can see the logic for quick ref. Since I'm a culprit of adding the date too, I do it in case extenuating circumstances puts me behind and I have to play catch-up in which case I'd be posting two poems on the same day -- and having the date as well would help keep track of it (I think

nomoth said:have noticed some poems have the date and time posted with the poem.
"Your entries must have its number on top corresponding to the date of its posting,"
This may be confusing a little, I am presuming that 1 of 30 'corresponds' with 1st of April, so it is not neccessary to have the date also? Or do we?
I'd like to explain this a bit more since you brought it up.
Per the Rules:
Your entries must have its number on top corresponding to the date of its posting, then a title in bold text, and lastly the body of your poem. Example:
https://deepundergroundpoetry.com/forum/474411/gotopost/
The example in the link is how it is supposed to be done.
And all we can do is encourage everyone to do it as simple as possible. Otherwise, the wording of the rules would end up three times its current size if we explained everything that should be avoided for the sake of simplicity.

EPISODE 2/30
Ganjosh and the others had promised to be back soon.
And the sooner, the better, as it was no easy task keeping fifty miniature Donkeys in line, let alone not be trampled by them. Eerowyn did her best with the critters on loan from the traveling petting zoo known as SHIRELAND, which was her father's business. She had specific instructions to bring all the Donkeys back home unscathed, as they were the main attraction. Since few people in Muddle Earth knew what a Donkey was, he passed them off instead as purebred Shire Horses.
"Relax, my Four Legged Friends," said Cool Dude Merry. "Let me sing you a Bard's tale that will calm your Asses." He merrily plucked away at his guitar with precision.
"There once was a hungry dragon
who munched on peasants by the wagon
and washed them down with a flagon
of blood drained from decapitated---"
"Stop it!" cried Summdir, the Elven General of the Mothlorien Elven army, at the ready with her blades out. "It's bad luck to be singing about dragons in dark times such as this!" Nervously, she glanced around at the sky, while the forest itself appeared restless.
Bursting out of the thicket came the Gray Lizard and a host of traveling companions, mostly Dwarves loudly rustling in their snailmail armor!
"We have to go," Ahavarwen said matter of factly as she leapt onto her Donkey. "We have to go NOW!"
From the direction of Wyrmington Heights came an awful shrieking noise the likes of which had not been heard for a thousand years. Everyone hurriedly mounted a miniature steed and galloped swiftly into the night.
Breathless, DUGlo hesistantly inquired, "What were those things chasing us?!"
Jaragorn, riding up along side him, replied, "Once upon a time, they were the nine Earthwyrm Kings of Muddle Earth. The One Poem ™ gifted to them by MOAR!ON corrupted their hearts and dumbed down their brains into being incapable of writing anything but poetry that pleased the Dark Wyrm."
"And now?!" DUGlo asked, unsure if he wanted to know.
"Now," said Jaragorn, "they are ..."
S s s s s h h h h h r r r r r i i i i i e e e e e k k k k k !
"... the Nasty Ghoulies."
The Glowyrm felt a change of underwear was in order. And he glowing more intensely than usual due to that strange water he drank.
PRadriel eyed him curiously and asked, "You look a little feverish - are you feeling okay?"
"Yep!" replied DUGlo, squirming nervously in his saddle.
