So I am trying A to Z Challenge and NaPoWriMo (National Poetry Writing Month) yes...trying...since I am not really sure whether I will be able to complete the 26 and 30-days challenge respectively. But I don't want to pass it either. So I shall try my level best to keep it going until the end of this month. This is my first attempt at both the challenges though.
Giving a brief about the two challenges, A to Z challenge happens every April and one has to blog through the alphabets; Monday to Saturday with the Sunday off. NaPoWriMo expects one to write 30 poems through the month with a poem a day. Both have official prompts but are not rigid that it needs to be followed, you are at liberty to chose your own themes. The links to their sites are listed below at the end of the post.
I am trying an empowering alliteration (loosely) of words with a fluid inked images. I would like to think of it like a photo essay but with just one phrase/statement and an image. At the end of it however I will have 30 images and 30 empowering alliterations! In case, I get to access some more time I shall try the prompts of the NaPoWriMo as well, but that's just in case.
My attempt on conversing with this fabulous fragment of a sculpture is jotted below:
faceless warriors abound around me
i see them everyday
faceless, i say but they do have one
that many can’t see
it’s not their fault
it’s
us
.......rest of the poem has been removed to facilitate for future submission. Thank you for visiting.

I loved your two concepts for this month. The Atoz idea is so unique.
Your poem was just perfect with the message it delivers about not focusing on what is missing but what we still have. Great start, Deepa.
Great approach with the fluid ink images. I love the alliterations you picked for this post's image. It feels most like alignment to me. Weekends In Maine
Deepa you always bring something unique and that's what I love about your blog. Giving us new ideas. The A to Z is like brilliant. I'll be looking forward. I loved your choice of prompt for NaPo I think I'm going to give it a shot today. The same prompt. The poem fits to a T. Also made me think of Ozymandius.
Wow Deepa... I just fell in love with the lines 'A fragment giving sense of whole' and 'It's not about what is missing but what we still have'...they sum up the pictures so well.
Good luck with your challenges!
Love it - both the image and the poem. You are right - what sensual lips, what an epitaph...
Unique and interesting art and alignment references. Beautiful poem Deepa.
Beautiful art!
I'm doing both too. I am not doing the daily prompts, and only filling in my A to Z on Sundays using one given that week. This Sunday will be the early bird prompt. That's the plan! We can do it!
I love your art piece. Your poem is very wonderful. Congratulations on taking this challenge Deepa...it's a big one to do both! :)
Great, Deepa.
Had thought of clubbing both A to Z Challenge and NaPoWriMo, but unable to do that as my theme has been Odisha and I planned to write posts, rather than poems.
Am sure you'll be able to complete the challenge.
Let's do our very best. "Just keep swimming!"
Love your art and the poem is fabulous. Have a great Easter.
Loved it, Deepa! I wish you success for both the challenges ! ❤️
Love the watercolour painting, its striking. What a great piece of poetry as well, thanks for sharing with us all. Happy PPf, Hazel(Didos) x
Love how you approached this. Wonderful. Your talent abounds. Have a nice weekend.
