If by Woofyard

If you can hold your leash while all about you
are losing theirs and letting dogs run wild,
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
(Disaster is Triumph's doggy child)
If you can bear to see the doggy's doodies
and stoop and pick 'em up with plastic bags
then you can get a dog, my son!

WHAT WE DO

Since 2010, Rutgers English PhD students and friends have been writing a poem a day for the month of April as part of NaPoWriMo (National Poetry Writing Month).

From the NaPoWriMo official site:

NaPoWriMo was founded in 2003, when poet Maureen Thorson decided to take up the challenge (modeled after NaNoWriMo, or National Novel Writing Month), and challenged other poets to join her. Since then, the number of participants has gotten larger every year, and many writers’ organizations, local, national and even international, organize NaPoWriMo activities.
