Hi everyone,
Thank you to all who participated in April’s poetry challenge. I will now erase everything and prepare for your efforts in May. The new word for the month is TOUCH.
If you are joining us this month for the first time, welcome. I hope you will consider writing a poem inspired by the single word — TOUCH — and posting here on my blog. I’ve been hosting this exercise since October 2009 so this marks the 176th consecutive month that poets in all stages and from across the country have contributed to Word of the Month Poetry Challenge.
Your poem can be long or short, verse or free verse, humorous or serious…whatever your muse decides to do. What we all have in common is that we start with the same word, mine it for its stories, pick one, and write a poem. To post your poem, click on the box along the top of this page that says Adult W.O.M. Poems. Scroll to the bottom, type or paste your poem into the box there, and click. Easy as that.
If you are new to my blog, I’ll have to okay you the first time, and after that you can come and go any time you wish. I love to see new poets join us. This month maybe you’ll be one of them.
