Welcome!

Dear Poetry-Loving Friends,

Welcome to our world! Grab a cup of your favourite drink and take a seat. We hope you will enjoy reading the poems, perhaps even consider joining us and write something yourself! To join, please send me an email at tanchristine83 at gmail dot com

This poetry project first started through a fortnightly poetry exchange between Eric Howd, Rob Bruce and myself - members of the Protestant Cooperative Ministry community at Cornell University. We found out (quite randomly) through church about our mutual interest in poetry and decided to "self-assemble". This poetry exchange has been a fun way to explore different themes, to enjoy each others' unique perspectives on the same theme, as well as to write regularly.

The rules are simple:
1) We take turns coming up with a theme and tell everyone on Friday;
2) We have one week to write a poem on this theme;
3) We release our poems to the group on the following Friday;
4) We give each other comments and suggestions in the meantime, until the next Friday when we start over again.
5) And most importantly, we have lots of fun! :D
