Due to computer difficulties, the November Poetry Challenge will be posted late. Check back in two or three days. The deadline will be extended by as many days as the posting is late.
Thank you for your patience.
Wilda Morris
Beginning in June 2009, a writing prompt has been posted on Wilda Morris's Poetry Challenge at the beginning of each month. You are invited to write a poem responding to the prompt, and to submit it by the 15th of the month for possible publication on the blog. No pornography or objectionable language. Read rules carefully. NOTE THAT POEMS ON BLOGS ARE CONSIDERED PUBLISHED. Periodically, I may post commentary on poems, poetry books, or poetry. Welcome to my blog!
