Poetic License A blog
Spring has arrived and with it a New Adventure.
Tentatively, late May, 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.
Comments about a particular blog or ideas for future topics are encouraged and can be made using the “Contact” button.
Please Note: “Poetic License” 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.
