 PAD 2023: Challenge Details, Prompts, & Poetic Forms

Message text:

We're pleased to announce the return of the annual Poem-a-Day (PAD) challenge. This year we'll be holding it in April instead of February, as we bring it in line with other National and International poetry challenges. The Challenge: Write a poem every day for the month of April. At the end you'll have 30 poems to edit, polish, and prepare for publication. For each day of April (at 8am SLT) we will have word prompts and poetic forms to help inspire you. At our writers’ meet-ups you can discuss prompts and forms, share the process with fellow poets, and be cheered on. You can also deposit your poem in the repository for others to read later. Our annual PAD Competition will be later in the year. That gives you time to polish those words and make your poems as tight and professional as possible.
