New Poetry/Flash Fiction Opportunity During Your COVID-19 Staycation

Hi all - While we're all doing our part to slow the spread of COVID-19, we all want and need ways to stay engaged socially and creatively. To help with that, Ann Arbor Poets Online has teamed up with the Open Mic Poetry Meetup to bring you a new online forum for sharing your work! The team here is going to be putting up new writing prompts a few times a week to get you launched on a new poem or piece of flash fiction. Plus, we're hosting a weekly ZOOM meeting where we can share what we've written. Details will be coming soon on this site, and on Facebook and Meetup.

Today's Word Prompt is the Word "Angry"

This blog is devoted to a select group of poets. We're starting with poets from the Ann Arbor area, but, hey, if you're from Detroit, Grand Rapids, Saginaw or the Upper Peninsula, then that is okay, too. We've even been so generous to accept poets from other parts of the USA and the entire country of Canada!  

Our goal is to provide you with a prompt every day from which you are to garner inspiration and submit a poem. How to submit will be very easy.  Just put your poem or short story  in the comments section and hit post. You may not immediately see your post, but it is there under the "Comments" section. You may need to click on "Comments" to see your poem.  It is there on another page.

You may need to have a Gmail or Yahoo or AOL account to post in the comments section.  Most of you do have Gmail or Yahoo or AOL, but for those of you that don't, it's extremely worthwhile to open up one of these email accounts now!  This way you've got a chance to get your work out there in the world.
