FORUM

Welcome home!

At The Poetry Cove Forum, we are dedicated to bringing together poets from all over the world. We believe that poetry can be a powerful tool for connection and community, and we want you to have a place where you can explore your craft in an environment that is friendly, welcoming, and supportive.

We are committed to providing this space for you because we believe that everyone deserves a chance to express themselves creatively and share their work with others who share their interests.

We hope you will join us in creating an open-minded, accepting, and supportive community of people who can help each other grow as poets.

Suggestion: The Cove Writing Circle

in Poetry Discussion

Hello Covers!

I've been thinking. In my NaPoWriMo post, I suggested having virtual write ins to help us get through the challenge and I wondered if that should be a thing regardless of NaPoWriMo.

Let me explain. When I do NaNoWriMo, I usually participate in virtual write ins. They're usually done in 'sprints' where you write as much as you can for fifteen minutes. This doesn't really work for poetry (certainly not the vibe I'm looking for for these 'circles'). But I found being with other people (even virtually) and writing at the same time to be really useful.

I even found an online study group that just has an ongoing zoom that you can join (no mics/chat) so you can be with other people studying at the same time. It helps me stay focussed on whatever I'm working on.

So my suggestion for the Cove: a weekly (or maybe a couple of times a week) 'writing circle' probably on Discord where you can come and write the poem you've been working on for a while or edit your chapbook or read some poetry (I don't do that as much as I should!)

Does that sound like something Covers are interested in?

Yeah I’d be down for that! I’m already on discord as well. Would be fun!
