Writing poetry is all about self-expression: being heard and being understood. Now, students can share their stories and win a $1000 college scholarship, too!
Telling your story
What do poetry and being a poet mean to you? Why did you decide to become a poet? How did poetry enter your life in the first place? Maybe there was a specific poem that struck you, or you just found a connection with your pen and paper (or keyboard) and couldn’t stop writing.
Tell your story in a poem for a chance to win a $1000 college scholarship!
