In January 2019 we launched our Poetry Challenge and it was a huge success. We hope you’ll join us for this year. You may be a first-time scribbler of words or a poet laureate, but everyone can benefit from a deadline and some feedback, right?
How will it work:
There will be a deadline every 4th week. You post your poem on the site and read and comment on four other poems. The goal is to have 12 poems at the end of 12 months.
The prompts will vary. A lot. Sometimes there will be more restrictions and sometimes none.
One poem per person.
Please remember: This is not a competition. It’s about discipline, productivity and learning. Not all our poems will be great, but they will at least be written.
How to participate:
- Sign up on the deadlinesforwriters.com Website.
- If you are already participating in the short story challenge you will need to add the poetry level.
- Account/Show All Levels/Add Poetry
- Write and submit your poem on the day of the deadline.
- Comment on four other poems.

- Copyright remains with you.
- You publish on the site at your own risk.
