October Writing Challenge: "This Is Us"
In this “season of mists and mellow fruitfulness” let’s take the opportunity to write about what makes us us. How does your community shape you and how do you shape your community? Who are the influences and influencers that you turn to and who might turn to you? What are the things that instigate thought, inspire action or initiate growth?
Explore the ideas through a poem, while restricting yourself to using no more than 16 lines. All submissions due by October 31st.
