get your poem on #120

by the Read Write Poem Staff

Were you inspired by last week’s Read Write Image prompt? Whether or not you wrote to the prompt, leave a link to your poem, or the poem itself, in the comments section.

April 1 marks the beginning of (Inter)National Poetry Month and the Read Write Poem NaPoWriMo Challenge. For details on the challenge, please refer to the two sticky posts on the site’s main page. If you are taking part in the challenge, leave you link for today’s NaPoWriMo poem in the comments of the NaPoWriMo #1: Shuffle a Poem post.

If you don’t want to take part in the challenge, no worries. You can participate each week as usual by leaving your link on the Thursday NaPoWriMo prompt post. This month, you can select from any of the daily, member-authored prompts for use in place of the weekly Read Write Prompt we usually provide. Whatever you do, get your poem on!

Please read this page to find out how Read Write Poem’s prompt posts work. Remember that work linked from any post this month is shared in precisely that spirit: sharing, as opposed to critiquing. If you haven’t done so already, please read all the pages under About in the navigation bar.

    The Read Write Poem NaPoWriMo Anthology is still in production. Selection, placement, layout and copyediting are taking longer than anticipated. Thank you for your patience. I hope to have the piece completed in July. For those who have emailed asking if they can be included, the May 7 deadline for submission of work stands. Those who met that deadline will be included. Please check the post on this site listing who I received submissions from by that date. If you submitted your work by the May 7 deadline in accordance with our guidelines and your name is not listed, send an email to info (at) readwritepoem (dot) org.

    Remember that Friday* is the deadline for submitting work to the Read Write Poem NaPoWriMo Anthology. Check out the guidelines for submission in the main column (to the left). On May 8, we’ll post a news item listing everyone we’ve received work from. If you submitted work and your name is not on that list, please let us know. Thanks!

    *I initially said “tomorrow,” but I meant to say “Friday.”

    It’s the final week of the Read Write Poem NaPoWriMo Challenge! Just 7 days left. With that, a reminder that Read Write Poem will culminate with the anthology featuring work from those who complete the challenge. A post with details for submitting to the anthology will be published May 1. Be sure you remove any information from the site that you want preserved — such as group content and personal messages. Those elements of the site will be removed May 1 as well. The main site will remain up as an archive.
