{poetry peeps: it’s tan-ku season!}

Welcome to another year of Poetry Peeps Adventures!

Happy (Calendar) New Year, Peeps! You’re invited to the first challenge of the year in JANUARY, 2025! Here’s the scoop: we’re composing tan-ku, conversations between a haiku and a tanka, as created by Mariko Kitakubo & Deborah P. Kolodji. (This is a short-but-sweet challenge, given that we don’t have a full month to ponder it.) Are you in? Good! You have …two weeks to craft your creation and share it on January 31st in a post and/or on social media with the tag #PoetryPals. We hope you’ll join the fun!


2025: A Year In Conversation!

The Poetry Sisters discussed an overarching theme of CONVERSATION this year. How do we speak our truths? This year we’re celebrating the subtle yet direct ways we can say what needs to be said – in conversation with poems, poets, and the world around us. You’re invited along for the ride – whether you join us every month and share, or just write to our prompts for yourself. Thank you for being part of the poetic community, and enriching our conversation this year!
