poetry contest delayed temporarily...

The link poetry contest is an excellent idea....an idea whose time has come! But I've become busy...had a new baby, got bogged down in other stuff. So, it won't be as soon as I thought. I'm looking for collaborators....people who will help publicize it, judge it, put together the journal, etc. Please contact me if you're interested. The idea is simple: link poetry and link haiku just include links and words or letters can link to anything: pictures, sites, music, etc. No entry fee. Winners get published in an online journal (annual?) tentatively called a href...judges are prohibited from entering. I have been doing link poetry for a while at my poetry site and have gotten some others started on it, but it's a new thing, not many people that I know of are actively working on it. I welcome you to try it. When you do, I hope we can get a couple of sites (one for poetry, one for haiku) and get started. Then we need judges, publicity, etc. Any takers?

Poetry contest

This weblog will be used to discuss issues related to the poetry contest: link poetry, link haiku, etc. For examples of these you can go here. Soon each contest will have its own weblog. I'm enjoying blogigo and its easy interface. The sunflowers at the top are nice too. More later.... -Tom Leverett, originator Carbondale IL USA
