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 second poem opportunity for the new year is…

TOPIC—Dedication

Thoughts from Editor Karen O’Leary to ponder about—With the entitlement age mentality and the acceptance of violence captured for YouTube videos and television replaying horrific events, not just reporting but sensationalizing them with “Breaking News!” The same clips show from hour to hour, sometime day to day.  Though press reporting is different from poetry; it is a form of writing.

Here is your chance to weigh in on those that are dedicated to jobs, their families, principals etc.and present another side of life--our everyday heroes one example of an approach.

           

OUTCOMES—

1. To share a side of ethics and hard work, spreading the light of optimism
2. Present poetry with depth and insight to share with an international audience

CHALLENGE—

To present poetry that is relevant for a global community.
