Instead of providing poems as inspirations for the March Poetry Challenge, I'm providing a photograph I took some time ago. You are invited to let the photo take you where it will, and write the poem it inspires. Use your creativity!
The March Poetry Challenge
Read these directions carefully! The poetry challenge for March is to write a poem inspired by the photo above. Your poem may be inspired by the entire photo or some part or aspect of the photo. You may write a formal poem or free verse. If formal, please specify the form. The deadline is March 15. Poems submitted after the March 15 deadline will not be considered.
Copyright on poems is retained by their authors.
Due to formatting restrictions on the blog, all poems should be left justified. As much as I would enjoy a fruit-shaped poem, I am unable to publish indentations, shaped poems or even extra spaces between words or phrases.
Poems published in books or on the Internet (including Facebook and other on-line social networks) are not eligible. If your poem has been published in a periodical, you may submit it if you retain copyright, but please include publication data.
How to Submit Your Poem
Send your poem to wildamorris[at]ameritech[dot]net (substitute the @ sign for “at” and a . for [dot]. Be sure provide your e-mail address. Submission of a poem gives permission for the poem to be posted on the blog if it is a winner, so be sure that you put your name, exactly as you would like it to appear if you do win, at the end of the poem.
