Welcome!
Each month a new theme will be presented. Feel free to address this theme and share some original poetry that relates. Contributors are not to be judged on their poetry. This is simply a place to share and grow through original poetry.
As this space begins to grow, we are hoping to receive poetry and feedback from writers all over the world. We will self-publish an anthology of this work with the permission of each writer included. This will eventually be sold, and all proceeds from this sale will be donated to a cause identified by the collective membership of Working Together to Make a Difference. We're grateful to Angela Stockman for this suggestion and for her assistance in making this happen. We are excited to align our work within this group to the incredible mission of the Working Together to Make a Difference community! I'm looking forward to collaborating with Angela face-to-face and within this space as we take this project to press.
To submit a poem simply click the Start Discussion tab below and share! As we begin developing a selection process for inclusion within our print anthology, we will share more about that here as well, and anyone whose work is chosen will be contacted directly. Nothing will be printed without the written permission of the writer. If you have questions, please feel free to message Angela Stockman or Rob Currin.

A message to current members of the Global Poetry Project:
If you are a contributing member of the Project please continue to share your poems and share feedback with other poets. When a poem is born, the soul of the poet is exposed. Embrace the fear of posting your work; don’t let it hinder you from contributing. Working Together 2 Make a Difference has provided a place to grow and nurture, not a place of ridicule and rejection.
If you are a member of the Project and you are not ready to contribute your own work, consider commenting on the work of others as a way to get involved. Make connections with the people in this community. We have all taken a different path to get here, but we all ended up together for a reason.
Keep sharing!

Comment by Angela on November 4, 2009 at 10:04pm - Hi guys! Glad you are all settling into this group nicely. Please help Jenny, Mike, and I realize the vision of this space by connecting with others beyond your group and supporting their work. For tips on how to do this comfortably, see my post on the main page, which includes a download of social networking etiquette tips. I also shared with Mr. and Mrs. Currin yesterday. Looking forward to getting to know you as you begin engaging with the entire community here! Explore other groups and share your thoughts and ideas or dive into conversations in the forum or elsewhere. You've established yourselves so nicely here, and we're thrilled to host you! We're really looking forward to including you in the larger community as well!

Comment by NinaD on October 20, 2009 at 6:22pm - Ok, no reason why my 5&6 year olds can't contribute. I'll start the ball rolling at school and see what they come up with. I'm always amazed by there understanding and ability to create from their own perspective.

- Thanks for inviting me Rob. Can't wait to share with teachers that I work with and the kids in Studio as well. What a fantastic way for writers from different cultures to connect and learn from one another.
