*
simplypoetry is the new sister project to *
simplyprose, where poetry is the name of the game! *
simplypoetry aims to provide a place on dA where poets can feature their poems without a selection process.
But there's a catch! *
simplypoetry is more than just a place for people to pimp their work. We hope to generate new poetry on dA. For this reason, *
simplypoetry will only feature poems that have been written for prompts that *simplypoetry has provided. These prompts will hopefully also serve as points of inspiration for those who want to write but just don't have the inspiration.
This is not a club. There is no joining process. How it works is simple:
Every month, a new journal entry will be put up with the month's prompts. There will be four types of prompts: a voice prompt, a form prompt, a word association prompt, and a miscellaneous prompt. You can write for a single prompt, or for any combination of prompts.
If you want to get involved, all you have to do is devwatch us, write some poems, and note us with
a link to your submissions! That's it!
Daily DeviationsPlease remember to alert *

there's an incentive for you!
