Get your poetry published in Writer’s Digest magazine

Are you a poet? Or even a prose scribe with poet-y inclinations
looking to broaden your writing horizons?

In the InkWell section of Writer’s Digest, we publish
WD Books editor Robert Lee Brewer’s Poetic Asides
column, a magazine adaptation of his rockin’ blog of the same name.

With the column, Robert has been offering his blog readers a
chance to have a poem appear in the magazine—the WD Poetic Form Challenge. It
basically entails writing to the poetic form he intends to feature in an upcoming installment, which we then use as the example in the column. The next form up is the
Monotetra. Click here to find out more about the form, and to enter your poem
for a shot at appearing in the magazine.

The deadline for this edition of the Poetic Form Challenge
is Sept. 7—hope to read yours when Robert sends the column my way!

And now, for today's (unrelated) regular Promptly prompt...
