OctPoWriMo 2016 Begins!

This is our fifth annual OctPoWriMo! Every year since 2012 you have joined us in everything poetry and we are so glad that you do. Of course every year we also have a few people join us for the first time as we have this year. If you are new to OctPoWriMo, don't hesitate to ask questions as we are more than happy to help you maneuver this poetry journey.

The people behind the curtain this year are, myself - Morgan Dragonwillow and Amy Phelps McGrath. We can't guarantee to get to every participating blog every day but at least one of us will try to get to your blog at least once a week

Remember, our prompts are only suggestions, where you find inspiration for your poetry is up to you.

During OctPoWriMo, if you want to make sure that we know you have written something new, comment in that day's post with your link to your blog and share your link on Twitter with the hashtag, #OctPoWriMo.

If you choose to, write a shape poem.
