I was thinking about getting a group of poets together and having someone pick a topic for all of us to write a poem about. I would then post all the poems on this blog. I think it might be interesting. Now if you are a writer but have not written much poetry (or any) this does not mean that you should not consider it. If anyone is interested leave a comment below.
That could be a lot of fun – a good challenge. 🙂
Shall I sign you up?
How about “Unity, Easter or Earth day”?
This is a great idea 🙂
Quite a range of topics, I’m sure any one of those would be great.
Easter could potentially be a goldmine. It could have anything from the incarnation to fluffy bunnies. High end philosophy to childhood memories. And I would be really interested to see what a non-christian (or non-practicing christian) wrote about Easter.
Earth day just has so many great memories for me (which some people might find surprising) so I’m sure I would enjoy writing about it.
Unity has no depths that we can get to (for a writer); it would be easy to find inspiration.
All great ideas. If there is enough interest I will hold a submission period (perhaps a week) and then (if manageable) bring it to a vote.
I will send links letting people know 🙂 🙂
I have been tweeting it … 🙂
This will be interesting!! 🙂
I think the idea is great.
And for readers, which I would be, an easy way to have easy access to a number of poets/writers.

Great to hear. I have noted your support of my idea by drinking a beer. After a very long trail run it was very good.

What a refreshing idea!…would consider myself lucky to have such an opportunity. =) the topics suggested have so much potential too =)
Excellent.
I might be interested–I’ve just signed on for the poem-a-day NaPoWriMo challenge, but if the muse is on duty I might be able to swing it…
Great to hear (on both counts).
Definitely interested…lead the way. 😉

This is an amazing idea! I think I want in on the action, if that’s okay? It will be a good way to expand ones grasp of topics, and also a great way to improve as writers. Keep me posted!

Done. The topic is Unity. You have about a week to compose or select from your archives. Cheers.
