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

Dear Whispers' Friends,

Thank you to everyone that has been participating in our activities.  We hope you find them engaging and a way to expand your writing

TOPIC—Word Bank

Thoughts from Editor Karen O’Leary to ponder about—The word bank exercise was a staple part of a publication I was a part of for years.  I enjoyed the adventure of melding the words to share a creative poem that had a cohesive message

OUTCOMES—

  1. To use this tool not only for this column, you can use it in the future by developing your own word bank.
  2. Present poetry with depth and insight to share with an international audience
CHALLENGE—

To use the following words (variations of the words like streamed, streaming, etc. are acceptable)—

flowers
dog
stream
sun
laughter

to present a poem that is relevant for a global community.

1 poem 10 lines or less.  Please send your submissions to Jack Horne at jack-marcus@outlook.com

Please use the following format:

Title (if one)
Space
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.

DEADLINE: March 20                           

It is a gift to have Jack as our Activity Feature editor, sharing his editorial talents and willingness devote time to Whispers for activity submissions.  He is a joy to work with.
