died in a storm, in early winter, before sunrise.

A community for discussion and sharing of poetry.

I’ll populate this sidebar with more pizzazz, but for now let’s just get the lights on in here.

English only? Non!
It would be dope as fuck if non-English submissions were accompanied by an English translation, though.
Poetry memes?
Original work welcome! Go ham, any day of the week.
Image submissions, i.e. photos & scans, are totally cool
More poetry is good. Be sure to swing by [email protected]
