Poem for the Day

Poem for the day

Poem for the day.

April is National Poetry Month. During April we want to display the talents of our authors in Chatham and Lee Counties. Writers’ Morning Out will publish, on our blog, a Poem for the Day to share with all the members.

If you have written a poem(s) you would like to share, please send it, as an attachment, in an email to Al Manning, at: (amanning@richkwok.com) I can handle attachments in .doc, .docx, .pdf or .txt formats.

Poems may be of any style, and on any subject. We do ask to please hold them to one page. They will be published in the order received. Should we get more poems than we have days in April, we will continue into the next month.

Note: If you submit a poem for the blog, you are granting WMO one time reprint rights only. You retain all other rights.

Also: A few publishers and literary journals consider anything posted to a blog to have been “published.” This could be important only if you later wanted to submit your work to them for a contest or anthology, and the requirements are for “unpublished” works only.

VISION AND VOICE: A POETIC JOURNEY THROUGH THE GALLERY

Sunday, March 24th at the Joyful Jewel 44-A Hillsboro St, Pittsboro

The Joyful Jewel invites writers of all ages and levels to come to the gallery, pen in hand. See which piece of art, jewelry, or craft will inspire your words for a poem, an impression, or a short bit of writing (max 5 minutes to read aloud). Let us know which piece/s you are, or may be, writing about, the artist & the title of the art, so we can take a picture of it.

Submission Guidelines: Submit your writing by email no later than March 3. Please submit your writing along with: 1) your name, 2) telephone number, (3) email address, 4) title of your writing, and 5) artist & title of the artwork that inspired you.

We’ll collect the writings and pictures of the art in a booklet to display, and perhaps to sell. Plan to come to the Joyful Jewel on Sunday, March 24 to present your writing. Hopefully, the artist whose work inspired you will present with you.

Friday, February 8:  Captain Bob Cathcart’s poetry reading and coming out party at the Joyful Jewel, 44-A Hillsboro Street in Pittsboro. Admission is free.  Doors open at 6:30 PM.
