Highlighting Poets for National Poetry Month – Week 3

By TheRaven6825 on April 17, 2016 • ( 0 )

You writers are certainly giving your imaginations a workout. So many great poems are pouring in each day for our challenge and with only two weeks left, we can’t wait to see what’s in store for this week. There is still a lot of writing to do, so if you haven’t joined us yet, pick a few topics from the list and get some poems written. You get a chance to have your poem featured in our weekend article and highlighted during the week.

The topics this week certainly spurred some fantastic poems. We are loving the creativity!

Check out our favorites from week 3 and please take a moment to look at each writer’s page:

Day 10

What makes our mind tick? @bellalupa6 goes down that rabbit hole when at odds with the clock flip in this poem of a strange madness.

Day 11

There were so many great poems for this prompt and it was hard to pick just one, so we chose two. Sue Lobo took us back to a time where being graceful and respectful had meaning, in her poem “Manners Maketh Man”, and @Sitaripoetry reminded us why living today is better than in the past.
