What are YOU doing for National Poetry month?

If you feel ambitious, you can do a poem a day with or without prompts. Maybe you’ve NEVER written a poem. Contribute your poem here. We’re gentle and non judgemental. Don’t craft a hateful, racist, sexist, ageist etc. poem. This is a safe space for writers.

I’m going to participate in the 30 for 30 poetry celebration and attend a poetry writing workshop via Zoom with the always excellent Dr. Michael Anthony Ingram guiding us.

I hope to post lots of poetry, poem facts, different types of poetry. Keep your eye on Poetry Pasta on Facebook. There might be different content And as always, feel free to post poems, poetic links, articles, gifs and memes there.

Coping

From your perspective, you were under pressure. Coping

&

trying to

handle the words.

I don’t know

the

minds & hearts

of others.

I will celebrate you. Encouraging you

to be true.
