JANUARY ACTIVITY FEATURE INVITATION

From--Activity Feature Editor—Jack Horne
Email Address-- jack-marcus@outlook.com

Dear Whispers' Friends,

As we start this new year, our Whispers’ team is looking forward to offering a wide variety of Activity Poem Invitations that we hope you will enjoy.  Our first for the new year is…

Title—The Brevette

Definition—

"The Brevette, created by Emily Romano consists of a subject (noun), verb, and object (noun), in this exact order. The verb should show an ongoing action. This is done by spacing out the letters in the verb.”—from Shadow Poetry.

Outcomes—

1.      Practice writing in a minimalist way, giving writers a chance to clear clutter from their writing.
2.      Present poetry with depth and insight to share with an international audience

Challenge—

To present poems using three words that are relevant for a global community.

1-3 poems per submission will be considered.  Please send your submissions to Jack Horne at jack-marcus@outlook.com

Please use the following format:

Poem
Space
Author’s name, country

________________  (Please use a line between poems if you are submitting more than one.)

We will not publish bios with activity poems.

Examples:

porches
