The Love Poem Challenge
"Don't write love poems; avoid those forms that are too facile and ordinary: they are the hardest to work with, and it takes great, fully ripened power to create something individual where good, even glorious traditions exist in abundance" - Rainer Maria Rilke (Letters to a Young Poet)
We agree with Rilke. It is difficult to write a love poem that can truly stand out. Yet we believe there is a great love poet out there.
Valentine's Day is upon us again and we would like to challenge you to write a love poem to be published in this blog.
You may send your poems from now until anytime up to 7 days after Valentine's Day. If I like it, I will publish it.
All submissions to
sentinelpoetry@gmail.com please enter "The Love Poem Challenge" in the subject line of your e-mail.
