Hello, and welcome to the landing page for all my poetry challenges and tutorials. Are you looking for some inspiration for your next poem? help with how to write a certain form? help with nuts and bolts of poetry in general? Or perhaps you simply want to stretch your mind by learning something new. Well, friend, you’ve come to the right place. This index will continue to grow as time goes by, so be sure to check back often.
If there is something you’d like to learn, and you don’t see it here, let me know, and I’ll see if I can write about it. I may have to do some research myself first, as I’m still learning too. But that’s what we’re all here for, isn’t it?
Happy writing!
