Welcome back to another poetry form. In honour of NaBloPoMo's April theme -- POEM -- as well as National Poetry Month, we're trying our hand at four types of fixed form poems.

The final form we're going to look at is the haiku.  Read more >

Her reasons are simple (beyond the personal desire to publish a chapbook): I want people to fall in love with poetry again. I want to start a revolution of lovely words. And terrible words. And scary words. And bad words. And all of the words. that make up the human condition.  Read more >
