Poet of the week October 3rd 2018
Each week I am in the unbelievably brilliant position of being able to highlight the work of some of the POETS members in the Poet of the week post. This week I want to pause and celebrate everyone. Mr Phil, reminded me today...or yesterday maybe, that poetry is subjective and I think that we often forget this, which is why it is so important that we do show our support and encouragement too all our members. I read the most amazing poetry every single day, you guys truly blow my mind with your creativity and your skill and some days I would make everyone my moderator pick of the day.
It is an absolute honour to run this community and an absolute honour to part of the journey of so many of you guys and gals....so I/ we here at POETS are thanking you, we thank you for your poetry and for the way you make this community feel so much like a safe place for so many writers.
Shout outs
Shout outs to the old and the new!
Let me start this weeks shout outs by letting you guys know how you can get yourself mentioned in this section. It's easy, correctly use one of the following categories, whilst also complying with the POETS guidelines and I will happily give you a shout out :)
Shout out time! This is to allow us to pause and pay respect to those poets taking poetry outside of the box, driving creativity into new arenas, and equally, those poets that stand proud within the poetic roots that have created the very foundations we write from today...
