10th Annual New Year’s Poetry Challenge
It is time to sign up for the 10th annual NEW YEAR’S POETRY CHALLENGE! The NYPC will start on December 8 and run for 30 days. Each day we’ll send you a prompt and you can write a poem, save the prompt for later, change it to fit what you need, or delete immediately. Poets of all experience levels are welcome. You don’t have to send in your poems and no one will check up on your work. This is just for fun.
So, if you want to jump in on this year’s NYPC, send your name and email to info@mostpoetry.org. You must OPT IN on this even if you’ve participated before. So, come on! Opt in and have some fun with poetry as you bring in 2018!
