Poetry Writing Month
Here you'll find our official Poetry Writing Month content, past and present.
Every year for Poetry Month in April, Deep Underground Poetry participates in NaPoWriMo (National Poetry Writing Month), also known as GloPoWriMo (Global Poetry Writing Month).
NaPoWriMo is a creative writing project in which participants write a poem every day throughout April (30 poems in 30 days).

NaPoWriMo 2023
Our 7th DU Poetry NaPoWriMo 'Clash of the Poets' saw our virtual mythological characters fight their way through Titans and more to deliver DU Poets from the evil spell of bad poetry!
NaPoWriMo 2022
Our 6th Annual DU Poetry NaPoWriMo was amazing! Team NaPo'22 led 28 poets through 30 days of non-stop writing, fun, frustration, worry, inspiration, and sheer accomplishment at the finish line!
NaPoWriMo 2021
Our 5th DU Poetry NaPoWriMo 'Lord of the Poem' saw our virtual Fellowship of the Poem trek through Muddle Earth to destroy the One Poem, and rescue the Spiderweb Mistress from the evil MOAR!ON's spell!
NaPoWriMo 2020
Stardate 4.1.2020 Deannavati and James T. Blaze led a crew of Undergrounders on a 30 day mission to explore the deep spaces of literature, boldly going where no poets had ever gone before! The galaxies are STILL recovering from all of the damage done.
NaPoWriMo 2019
Our 3rd (and largest) DU Poetry NaPoWriMo 'Pirates of the Caribbean' saw our virtual pirate ship set sail for daily adventures. X marked the spot for poets seeking the Fountain of Inspiration, guarded by the reclusive poetess Juanita Ponce de Leonie!
NaPoWriMo 2018
Once again, we endured the cruelest month with our 2nd official DU NapoWriMo! Our many returning participants encouraged others across the finishing line. Perseverance paid off and so much was written in so little time. No one and no poem was left behind!
NaPoWriMo 2017
Our 1st official Deep Underground Poetry Writing Month saw our hosts bring their own unique twist to the NaPoWriMo challenge. Requiring a minimum of 50 unique words per poem, provided the ultimate test for our hardy first crop of participants.
NaPoWriMo 2016
A year before our official NaPoWriMo launch, the seeds were already being sown. Ahavati began working on plans to bring NaPoWriMo to DU Poetry. This concept was tested in a forum competition, with host Jade-Pandora and a few steadfast participants.
