April 2008 National Poetry Month

Posted April 1, 2008 * Comments(0)

Last year, our publisher, Scott Ennis challenged himself to write more sonnets than Shakespeare, and successfully accomplished this goal.  With all of the discussion in the writing community relating to National Poetry Month, we challenge you to write a sonnet for each day in April.  It may seem like a simple task, but when you sit down and put pen to paper (or fingers to keyboard), you will be surprised to discover how challenging it can be to create something every day.  In addition to this exercise, we encourage you to submit your poems for our Annual Sonnet Contest.
