Are you looking for ideas of poems to memorize? Readers such as yourself recently listed favorite poems. I think “Lying in a Hammock at William Duffy’s Farm in Pine Island, Minnesota” is on my list of poems to memorize.
While we’re on the topic of September’s challenge, what shall we call the month? The word “memorize” or “memorization” is quite a mouthful. Some ideas:
National Memorize Poetry Month (so we could call it NaMePoMo a la National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo))
Memorize Poetry Month (perhaps a bit bland)
The 30-Day Poetry Challenge (not very specific)
What other ideas do you have?

RE(cite)Po(etry)month?
I agree on memorize being a bit bland, but I love the idea of memorizing poetry. I started memorizing one for the first time in years earlier last year, got to the last two lines and was distracted. I’m going to finish learning it today!
Heart Held Poetry – if we memorize it we are holding it in our heart like a memory. Oh, but what would it become – NaHeHePoMo………..
and Pamela’s becomes Repo month — without the National in front, so maybe we should add the Na in front. I like recite rather than memory (the word).
Can’t wait to hear other ideas.
COmmit VE to MEmory MOnth (CoVeMeMo)?
STOre a SEStina SEPtember (StoSesSep)?
ADd an AUBade AUTumn (AdAubAut)?
Oh we have to be able to do something with this.
Poetry Recall Month
I vote for NaPoMemMo. I’d like to avoid NaPoMeMo because National Poetry Me Month is too close to the bone.
How about just something simple like
“Remember Poetry Month”
