National Poetry Month - Week 4

April is National Poetry Month. It's time to celebrate our love of the art!

This is the fourth of a four-week series. The swap will involve two tasks:

1) Write a poem that is written in the style of magnetic poetry. For your word bank you can use one or two pages from a book, magazine, or newspaper. Cut the words apart and glue them to a piece of paper. If you want to preserve the original source, you might want to photocopy the pages.

2) Experiment with Blackout Poetry. Send at least one blackout poem to your recipients. (This can be addictive, and you might have quite a few!)

You will send these two items to two people. This is sender's choice! You can get started now and be ready to send once partners are assigned.

No 1 ratings for the last six months. No unresolved 3s (email me if in doubt). Newbies are welcome if they have a filled-out profile. I will check!

Not every poem will "speak" to you! If you receive one poem written in the refrigerator magnet style and one blackout poem, you must rate a 5.
