May 2020
Spring has arrived and with it a New Adventure.
Tentatively, early June, a weekly blog will be available each Thursday. Initially, thoughts and ideas about Poetry and Creativity will be offered to stimulate conversation. Occasionally a personal or requested favorite poet and their work will enter the blog.
Questions pertaining to the creation of a particular poem or book may well be offered when appropriate or by request.
The intention of the POETIC LICENSE Blog is to be interactive. Comments about a particular blog or ideas for future topics are encouraged.
Communication via email can be accessed through Contact.
Also, Sunrise Tortoise is seeking Poetry submissions.Each week we will select a Poem and post it Monday. If interested go to Submissions.
We look forward to hearing from you.

SELECTED POEM
of the Week
May 2020
Sunrise Tortoise is requesting the submission of Poems. Tentatively in mid-June a selected Poem will be available each Monday.

Below is a link to submit your work.
We hope to hear from you.
