Poetry Month links!

I thought I'd do a bit of a mini round-up of Poetry Month stuff and poetry related stuff, in no specific order and not very well organized. I've been trying to find original poems being posted this month, because I love to see what's out there, I love to see other people posting creative works, and it's a good way to find hidden gems that would never appear in Official Literary Places.

So if you've seen some great original poetry (or links to other folks' really great poetry) floating around and I haven't listed it, for the love of all the sonnets and stanzas in the world, drop me a comment!

Talking about Poetry

* Still Not a Luxury over at Writing Ourselves Whole
* The National Poetry Writing Month comm: napowrimo
* As I've recommended before, go over to forkedtongues because it is brilliant and there's so much there.
* And the obvious: poetry. Fairly frequent postings, but not overwhelming and a good selection over all.


ETA: Recategorized one link that was wrong! Sorry about that!
