my vOICE, MY Poem CONTEST
This year we have explored your stories, your ideas, and your voice. To celebrate poetry month we want you to continue that exploration through the form of poetry. Remember that the defining characteristic of poetry is that it says more and says it more intensely than ordinary languages and so challenge yourself to compress your language and expand your story.
