This short story contest had no winner and some entrants are plain pissed off about it. Oh, well. Better 10,000 pissed of losers than one mediocre writer thinking he deserves some kind of credit.

Stumbling Verse, a form for a new millennium.

Bill Moyers asks, “What books should the next president read?” I don’t really care as long as he reads more than the summaries of news stories presented to him by his press corps and the Sunday comics. I’d like him to have more than a fifth grade reading apprehension level.

VQR solves for the X factor. But if your submission is one of those that is automatically deleted then you’d be on the reverse side of this equation. That 4.6% wouldn’t mean a thing to you except that your submission would be included in it. Honestly, I’d have thought that figure would be higher.

When will the children’s fable be considered serious literature?

Street poetry is a “major art” and therapy for the homeless.

Is it erotic to have two vaginas?

Asking what the poem wants. I just always assume my poems want to make love. You know want it, Baby! You know you want it!

Write a poem today. Then revise it tomorrow.

I thought this was interesting. I Googled “poetry” and found this website. It’s great that home schoolers want to learn about poetry. They should. Poetry is one of those things that every human should take an interest in at some point in their lives. A good place to start is at home while in school.

Some of the resources on the website are resources that can be found at World Class Poetry, but some of them are unique as well. One of my favorite parts of the site is the part where children are encouraged to publish their poetry. If you have children and you homeschool, you’ll love the homeschooling poetry website.
