  9. Colleen–if I may–this seems to be the announcement for submissions to the journal, not a contest. These are very different things. Unless I’m totally misreading this? I think it’s great that you’re encouraging people to submit their work, but good advice when submitting to a journal–people should actually look at the journal first. 🙂 I didn’t see a link: http://www.cattailsjournal.com/currentissue.html
    Hope you don’t mind my two cents here–and maybe that’s all it’s worth. 🙂

    • I will clarify more on the next challenge. This is for Cattails, a Poetry Journal. There is also a Tanka contest going on. I’ll add the links to my challenge post so everyone knows the difference. ❤

Welcome to Word Craft ~ Prose & Poetry

“A good poem is a contribution to reality. The world is never the same once a good poem has been added to it. A good poem helps to change the shape of the universe, helps to extend everyone’s knowledge of himself and the world around him.”

—Dylan Thomas
