Activity to Kindle Your Muse--Hosted by--Inge Wesdijk (Daginne Aignend)—The Netherlands, Activity Editor

Dear Whispers' Friends,

Inge Wesdijk (Daginne Aignend)—The Netherlands, Activity Editor is accepting poems for individual publication in January. One of her goals is to give writers of various levels a chance to share in her inspiring opportunities.  I'm so grateful that our talented friend is offering another opportunity to help us grow as writers.

Note--This will replace the former individual poem publication opportunity.  The poems will be published in January.  Only one topic notification email will go out each month which you are welcome to share with your friends.  Each writer is eligible for one publication per month and be notified when his or her poem is published.  Inge and I will adjust this if the volume is too much for one month.

From--Inge Wesdijk, Whispers' Activity Editor

Title:  Poetry Celebrations—10 lines or less

Subject: Dreams

Outcomes:

1)  To allow writers to explore ideas in a concise format and allow different voices to capture ideas without the restriction of styles.

2)  Present poetry with depth and insight to share with an international audience.

3)  Celebrate the gift of words to uplift people up in this climate of challenges.

Challenge--

To present a poem of 10 lines or less that is relevant for a global community

Deadline December 25:  Accepted poetry will be published as individual poems in January—spaced throughout the month pending number of poems accepted.

Of note--Whispers does not publish profanity, erotica, violence or other derogatory writing.

It is a gift to have Inge share her editorial talents and willingness devote time to Whispers for activity submissions.  She is a joy to work with.

  1. I really look forward to another activity on our topic 'Dreams'
    What are your dreams for the next year? Did some of your dreams come true? What was your worst nightmare and you never want that dream to haunt you again. There's so much to explore in dreams.
    I know December is a busy month for most of you but I hope I will receive some beautifully written jewels from our community.

    Best wishes,
    Inge

  4. One topic as a prompt, with different forms and styles, should work extremely well. Good luck and seasonal greetings to all! ~ paul
