Inauguration Of Paper Poetry Publication Prompt
September 1, 2020
Dear Readers, writers, and Paper Poetry Followers,
Today I’m delighted to announce the first prompt for Paper Poetry publication. Please find the details of the prompt words.
Prompt theme: Papyrus Papyrus (/pəˈpaɪrəs/ pə-PYE-rəs) was a material used in ancient times as a writing surface, first known use in Egypt. The origin of the word might come from the Greek πάπυρος (papyros) or βύβλος (Byblos). (Information mentioned from Wikipedia). As ‘Paper Poetry’ has just started its journey, I couldn’t think anything but ‘Papyrus’ as our first prompt challenge.
Coverage: Poetry, prose, stories, notes, articles, journals, drawings, doodle, blackboard content (hand-drawn/ handwritten)
Timeline: Sep 1 — Sep 11, 2020.
Elaboration of the prompt: Write your words on the theme ‘Papyrus,’ add one information regarding ‘papyrus’ you want to share with us (only if convenient, not mandatory), and tag two writers who you think might be interested in writing on the prompt (only if convenient for you).
Marking your work for the prompt: Your content title might or might not have the word ‘Papyrus’ based on your choice. Please add ‘Paper Poetry Prompt#1’ as the subtitle for more comfortable viewing. Also, tag the following two words, ‘Papyrus’ and ‘PPPPrompt’ in your content tag. Having ‘Paper Poetry’ as one of your tags is not required/mandatory.

“I got it; it is prompt. What will it bring besides the joy of creation and the satisfaction of sharing our work?”
As a new publication editor, I’m still learning. So, please bear with me in this regard. Following are the attributes Paper Poetry will be providing to the prompt participants:
- All the prompt challenge contents within Paper Poetry will be shared on Twitter, as like our all content.
- Two of the best works will be selected based on merits as the challenge winners and highlighted in our separate tab ‘Prompt Champions’.
- The champions will choose the next prompt challenges (Sep 14 — Sep 25), which will be two themes in the same period to make the challenges more challenging and fun.
We are eagerly waiting for the great words and contents to be shared by our amazing ‘wizards of words’ on the theme, ‘Papyrus.’
