National Poetry Month 2016

Hey, Dear Readers!

It's been awhile. Luckily, it's April again, so we'll get to hang out for a month.

The rules of this year's project:

- There are 52 prompts each assigned to a different playing card as detailed below.
- In the morning I will draw a card and using the randomly selected prompt, write and post by the end of the day.
- This will continue every day for the entire month.
- No dice this year. I don't have time to write a Sestina or a Hip-Hopera. One of many disappointing things about adulthood.

This year's prompts:
