Summary

The website content is a call for submissions to a poetry project focused on the theme of honor, encouraging participants to share their one-line poems and providing guidelines for submission.

Abstract

The article titled "Honor Amongst Us" on the website invites readers to reflect on the presence of honor in everyday life, suggesting that it can be found in acts of quiet neighborly support and in the reliability of friends who keep their promises. It prompts visitors to contribute their own poetry on the theme of honor, with specific instructions to tag their submissions as "One Line" for poems of 16-30 words or "Chalkboard Espresso" for pieces with 15 words or less. The article also provides a link to a form for those interested in receiving weekly prompts and directs readers to the submission rules for any questions regarding the project. The initiative is hosted by Kathy Jacobs and Harper Thorpe, along with the Chalkboard team.

Honor, still with us?

We need to look carefully

Not at those headlines

Neighbors that quietly help those in need

Friends that keep their word

Yes, we still have honor
