Monthly Poetry Series - #1: Free Theme Poem

This is the first in a monthly poetry series for those members who love to write poetry (and those who want to try!)

July is month one and the theme for July is open and free. Write a minimum 6 line poem about whatever it is that you so desire this month! All topics are open and respected, as are all levels of writing.

The Administrative Details:

• 1 poem to 1 partner.

• Any style of poetry, any theme.

The Rules of the Road:

• Your poem should be at least 6 lines in length.

• Poems must be typewritten (you can handwrite the drafts if you're more comfortable writing poetry that way, but the final product must be typed up).

• Use of pretty/decorative paper is optional.

• Send on time.

• Rate promptly and fairly. You cannot rate down because you didn't like what you received or disagreed with the topic if it meets the requirements of the swap otherwise. Remember, we are all at different skill levels here.

Note: We will remove non-raters from the group if this becomes an issue (I don't expect that it will be). Hearts are at the discretion of the rater.

• I certainly don't expect anyone to flake in this swap but if that does happen, please let me know after you rate a 1 and I will angel. Please note that anyone who flakes will be immediately removed from this group
