About Us

We’re into December, and our theme is Portals. Your poems will be welcome. See Submission guidelines below.

***********

Poetrywivenhoe is a poetry collective established in 2007. We have an occasional live event, or meet by Zoom. For info see the Events page.
And every morning you will find a fresh poem on the Today’s poem page; to view the full poem in proper format click on Continue reading.

Submission guidelines:
• send by email, up to 30 lines (give or take) in 12 pt Times New Roman.
• house style:  the first line starts with either a capital letter or lower case; succeeding lines start lower case, perhaps with a capital after a full stop.
• poems should be your own compositions; if previously published please give relevant details.
• poems should follow the suggested theme, which now is Portals
(a portal might be a door, a gate, a window, a bridge, a stile, or something a lot stranger – maybe a tunnel into the mind of John Malkovich.  Who knows? Let’s get metaphysical – your poems on the new theme will be welcome).
• the Editor’s decision is final.
• a posting on the website will constitute an online publication.

Good luck
