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, 2026! Here’s the scoop: we’re composing tricubes, those mathematically delightful three-to-the-third-power poems which have three syllables per line, three lines per stanza, and three stanzas. No theme. No rhyme. No other rules. (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 …twenty-five days to craft your creation and share it on January 30st in a post and/or on social media with the tag #PoetryPals. We hope you’ll join the fun!
I was so sad to miss the CONVERSATION about the Year in Conversation we had in 2025, but I’m struggling with a compromised immune system during ‘flu season, despite all my caution and immunization. Thank you to those who sent cards – yours are coming! Thank you to those who have sent your good wishes – so appreciated. It’s back to bed for me just now, but Happy January anyway. Keep your hands washed and your masks handy, and remember you are so well-loved.
