National Poetry Month is Here! It’s no April Fool’s Day joke!

Hey Everybody!

It’s not only April Fool’s Day, but it’s also the first day of National Poetry Month. How exciting is that?!

What are your plans for this month? Are you writing a poem a day? I am excited that there is a special competition starting today. It’s on Nolcha Fox’s blog. She explains the rules and provides the daily prompts. You can enter the contest on ProlificPulse.com via a special form which is also on Nolcha’s blog. We are doing this together as a way to celebrate this month and to offer to the top three poetry writers, one copy each of the upcoming book by Nolcha Fox and Ken Tomaro, namely Seesaw – Quirky Poems which is to be released on April 30. You can actually pre-order the book, now. Check it out on ProlificPulse.com/nolchafox

By the way, you may want to take a peek at Ken Tomaro’s page on Prolific Pulse. Here’s the LINK

Hope you will participate. It’s going to be fun!

ANNOUNCEMENT! New Release Day! Postcards to Herself: A Prose Poetry Novella by Laura Stamps

Elaine loves to send and receive postcards. But nobody wants to do that anymore. Her friends have all gone digital. They’d rather text or email. So Elaine decides to send postcards to herself. Empowering, outrageous, hysterically funny. What Elaine has to say on these postcards is not what you would expect!

Postcards to Herself is about a woman, her love of Holly, her Yorkshire Terrier, and a very fun and interesting life.
