Crafting Poetry One Syllable at a Time
Posted on September 1, 2019 by Colleen M. Chesebro
I have a deep fondness for all forms of poetry, especially syllabic poetry. So, I would like to assist my poetry challenge participants in advertising their poetry books. As authors, I know we all struggle to get reviews. I know I do…
If you have participated in my challenge for at least six months or more, I will create a widget with a link to your Amazon Author Page on my blog where your poetry books can be found. This will help my readers find your books.
Please understand, this promotion is only for regular participants in my weekly poetry challenge and only for “poetry and/or poetry/short story books.” All other books are not eligible at this time. ❤
I’ve also create a page that shows up on my widget menu where your book images and links to your Amazon Author Page can be located. This listing won’t be alphabetical. I’ve called the page: Poetry Books for Sale.
I need an image of your book (or all of your poetry books in one single image) and the link to your Amazon Author Page. Please email your information to me at tankatuesdaypoetry@gmail.com.
As poets, we should all be helping other poets promote their poetry books. I love writing and READING poetry… do you?
If so, make your poetry book available to others to read. I can’t solicit reviews because that goes against Amazon policy. However, I can gift books to other folks who enjoy reading short stories and poetry. ❤
I’m happy to announce that I will gift 5 Kindle copies of Fairies, Myths, & Magic ~ A Summer Celebration to the first five people who are interested in reading my book. Remember, reviews are an author’s best friend. Reply to me by email at tankatuesdaypoetry@gmail.com.
This offer expires on September 3rd, 2019 at midnight, or once the five books have been gifted. I’ll update this post when the 5 books have all been gifted. ❤

Colleen M. Chesebro is an American Poet who loves crafting paranormal fantasy and magical realism, cross-genre flash fiction, syllabic poetry, and creative nonfiction. Colleen sponsors a weekly syllabic poetry challenge, called Tanka Tuesday, on wordcraftpoetry.com where participants learn how to write traditional and current forms of haiku, senryu, haiga, tanka, gogyohka, tanka prose, renga, solo-renga, haibun, cinquain, Etheree, nonet, and shadorma poetry. Colleen's syllabic poetry has appeared in the Auroras & Blossoms Poetry Journal, and in “Hedgerow, a journal of small poems.” She’s won numerous awards from participating in the Carrot Ranch Rodeo, a yearly flash fiction contest sponsored by carrotranch.com. In 2020, she won first place in the Carrot Ranch Folk Tale or Fable category, with her story called “Why Wolf Howls at the Moon.” Colleen is a Sister of the Fey, where she pursues a pagan path through her writing. When she is not writing, she is reading. She also loves gardening and crocheting old-fashioned doilies into works of art.

Yes we do because poetry is not treated the same way as fiction and non fiction is 💜💜

Hi, Colleen, what a generous offer you have to promote the poetry books of your participants. I have a copy of your book and did a review. I just came back from a cruise, arrived home this morning. I’ll have two more trips coming up. I would like to send you the info on my poetry collection and Amazon link before my next trip. ❤
