New York ditties

Okay, so I totally stole that title from Care, who was one of the few brave bloggers to complete the April mini-challenge, in which I asked people to write a poem about New York. Despite the fact that it was National Poetry Month, I had a whopping five submissions (note to self: evidently, you have many, many friends who don’t care for poetry, either).

Care wrote an awesome ditty about going to New York. Please go read it. And Billy is a bit jealous that Copley is in a poem.

Heather chose to write a limerick, and I’m just envisioning her laughing the whole time.

Taryn‘s haiku features truck tacos, and she deserves a huge round of applause for that.

Kathy also wrote a haiku, and despite her claims, she has nothing to be embarrassed about! Go show her haiku some love.

And Jenna wrote a cinquain. Bonus points for writing in a form that I had to Google.

Despite that fact that the rest of you all are cowards , I think this was my favorite of the mini-challenges. I just loved all the poems that these five brave souls wrote.
