I promise it will be fun (and maybe a little weird…)

A while back I sent out a flurry of emails to friends, inviting them to collaboratively write poems, one line and one email, at a time. Sadly, I fear the messages went the way of the chain-letter… Some participated, but without guaranteed interest, poems died in the inbox of disinterested friends.

SO — we’re going to try this again, but with a little more structure and better rate of return!

How it works:

  1. Interested writers sign up (You don’t have to BE a writer to sign up — by signing up, you become a writer for this project. So easy, right?)
  2. I will create groups of 10–15 writers who will each take turns adding one-two lines to the poem before forwarding on to the next writer on their list.
  3. The last writer in each group will send the completed poem to me, and I’ll post them here for all of us to read and wonder at!

It’s that simple! If you’d like to play, just complete the form below by June 3rd.
