Birth Poetry Contest
Birth is something that inspires us.? And poetry is definitely something that inspires many people.? While I work with pregnant and birthing families all day and realize the fire that birth can bring, I’m only now realizing how poetry can provoke intense feelings too.? When I’m having a rough day or go through a very emotionally intense (happy or sad) experience, I’ve been stopping to jot down a quick set of words.? I’ll admit that haikus are my poetry of choice these days. But I’m enjoying all sorts of poetry.
So I thought it would be fun to have a poetry contest!? Here are the directions:
- Any type of poem.
- Submit as many times as you’d like, but each separately.
- Submit by 11/27/09 at 11 pm EST
- Winners will be announced later that week.
- If you send us a poem, you agree to let us publish it
We will be finding some prizes around here to hand out for the top three winners!? Got your keyboards and pens fired up?
Here’s how to enter:
- Name
- Poem
- How you’d like it to be accredited (full name, nick name, etc.)
- Send to: robin at robin elise weiss dot com
- Subject Line: Birth Poetry Contest
Feel free to spread this around to your friends, Twitter,? facebook, etc.
