I'm in a poetry group up in southern NH and, along with a few other members, I've just signed up for something new and different (to me anyway), so I'm wondering if anyone has ever tried anything like this before:
It's postcard poetry. A hundred or so poets around the country put our names and addresses on a list and then once a week we write a poem on a postcard and mail it out to someone on the list. The next week we write one for the next person on the list, and so on. The poem doesn't have to be related to the postcard picture, although it could be, and that's probably what I'll do.
If I do one a week there's enough people on the list to do this for a couple of years.
I've never done anything like this before; it's a little scary. Any words of warning, encouragement, suggestions, experiences? Thanks in advance.
