Open Link Monday

Welcome to the Imaginary Garden...

Yesterday, I announced that Real Toads would be hosting a prompt a day in April, in addition to our usual monthly schedule, and it was no April Fools Day joke! Today marks the first day of NaPoWriMo and we, at Real Toads, would like to wish everyone who intends to participate the very best of luck.

We begin the week with our usual Open Link, which extends an open invitation to all poets to link up a poem of their choice. This month the emphasis is on inspiration and support of all poets who frequent RT, and let us show the love by visiting the blogs of other poets who have added links beside our own.



Be sure to come over to the Imaginary Garden tomorrow for the first of our April prompts.

Oh, no prompt today because it's a Monday. Hmm, I always enjoy having a prompt.
However, it isn't April here for another half hour, so I'll zip through my iPhoto to see if an idea leaps out at me.

Happy Monday, Toads! I'm not doing NaNo Na Na, but look forward to a month's worth of challenges here.

I hope that we can all have some fun this month - both the long and short distance runners.

We call it April Fool's Day here in the states, and because there is no shortage of fools, everyone has fun with it!

Grandmother Mary said...

Happy Day 1! I'm feeling the love and support!

Margaret said...

Couldn't stay away :) I might be posting while on my "vacation" as my daughters have brought their laptop along. I will be playing with "ten minutes or less" poem writing (and photos, OF COURSE!) I'll be back later this evening.

Ella said...

Glorious....I will ponder! I am surrounded in a sea of paper butterflies, glue and my family.
Mmh, maybe that will inspire a poem?!
Happy Monday Toads!

LLM Calling said...

I've linked up the pinnacle of my Easter poems before I start NaPoWriMo, so glad to journey with you lively lovely poets

Peggy said...

I look forward to the prompt a day month, Kerry and all who supply them. My inspiration has felt quite flat lately for some reason but I did post a poem today done for a wordle that was supposed to be for yesterday. Oh well. A prompt a day will help me I think during this period of creativity slumber.

Ella said...

I am torn...perhaps my A-Z challenge should of been poetry~
I will do what I can...
Happy April everyone~

Other Mary said...

Great that you're doing this! Thanks - I'll be here as many days as I can!

Unknown said...

You kidders, you! I'm glad it was a joke. I (and my fellow Team Netherworld members) are already doing the A to Z writing challenge across six blogs, plus NaPoWriMo. Someone's gonna end up in a straight jacket at this rate!

Yay, it's April! Month of sweating and swearing, of ranting and panting. Happy NaPoWriMo!! Or, as I said on my blog today, "The game is afoot, Watson. Watson, the foot is a game. A game, Watson, the foot is. Yeah, I’m ready!"

Happy journey to all. Love, Amy

Well, better late than never, perhaps. I just posted one here -- a poem where I study my own poem.
Since folks don't come back to look at Mr. Linky, maybe they's visit after I visit some of them.

I will suggest again that you put a time limit on each Mr. Linky. That way some folks will feel an obligation to come back and recheck by the end. Maybe 24 or 36 hours. Just my thoughts.
