Ceridwen Ceridwen created this group on NaBloPoMo.

 

Let's Show the World It's National Blog PoETRY Month

If any of the following apply, this is the group for you:

1. You like reading poetry.
2. You like writing poetry.
3. You like sharing thoughts about poetry (like examining individual poems, talking about poetry readings and literary events, and discussing issues you face with your writing).
4. You have never written a poem but want to give it a go and think November is as good a time as any to get your feet wet.
5. You're feeling a little too alone with your poetry reading and/or writing and could use a supportive, fun group.

Come on, together we can do this thing!
