Here's how it works at Read Write Poem: We post the Read Write Prompt on Friday. The NEXT WEEK, on Thursday, we post the Get Your Poem On post. That is where you leave your link with your week's submission. We keep this post open in case people want to discuss their poems, not so they can leave links. Please read the about page if you have any questions about how the site works. If we have to, we will start deleting links left prematurely. But we don't want to resort to that. Sorry about the all caps, but I had to get your attention. Hey EVERYONE. Here’s how it works at Read Write Poem: We post the Read Write Prompt on Friday.
