Poetry in Form Updates for June 2017
New publishing schedule.
Due to the volume of submissions and emails I receive, I have decided to now implement a publishing schedule to keep myself on track and to keep from falling behind. This will also ensure that new poetry gets posted consistently. In addition, writers will be able to anticipate when their poem will get posted. I believe that this will be good change for Poetry in Form that will benefit the readers, writers, and myself, as well!

Publishing days will now be Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday. These will also be the days that I will answer submission emails.
I also realize that I have gotten lost when it comes to my schedule for prompts. I’m still working on a solution for this and I hope to post a new prompt soon. If you enjoy Poetry in Form prompts and would like to receive an email notification when I post a new one, be sure to sign up for the mailing list which I will include at the bottom of this post.
I wanted to give a big THANK YOU to all of Poetry in Form’s readers and writers. We now have 5.6k followers and we are approaching our first birthday! A year ago, I don’t think I had any idea that this publication would have grown so much. I thought that there was maybe a small group of poets that would be interested in this type of poetry and I created the publication to be a kind of home for those who valued poetry written in form. I didn’t realize how many writers would come to it bringing new forms from all across the world and how many writers would flock to it seeking ways to challenge themselves and improve their writing. While I may have created it, you, the poets and readers, have really made Poetry in Form what it is today. For that, I am beyond grateful and I can’t wait to see where we will go in the future.
