Poemorama
We are celebrating Poemorama in Paper Poetry to celebrate the US National poetry month by sharing the poetry in diverse forms and themes of poetry prompts. Carolyn Hastings shared a detailed announcement in this regard; please explore.
30 poetry prompts to be issued in three parts with ten prompts each and announced on the following dates — Part 1 — Friday, April 1 Part 2 — Sunday, April 10 — see below for prompt details Part 3 — Wednesday, April 20
Submissions will be accepted for Part 1 prompts for the entire 30-day timeline, while submissions for Part 2 prompts will be open from April 10–30, and Part 3 prompts from April 20–30.
There are no limits on the number of submissions from each poet.
Part II Themes
This is a word-theme prompt mentioned in the following images. Why not use your imagination to illustrate the themes in your incredible words?


The poem should be written on the theme and must contain the word. Your poems can be of any style or form.
By the way, you can combine the themes if you want. It can be a micro-poem with one theme, prose with multiple themes, two different styled/form poems with one/numerous themes — the sky is the limit to utilize the styles and themes and to utter the elegance!
It can be a micro-poem (minimum word limit of ten words) or an elaborative expression (maximum word limit of 200 words). Please comply with the standard conventions for that form.
Tags, Kicker: Please use 'Poemorama' as one of the tags, and the theme (suppose the theme is 'Ocean,' then add 'Ocean' as a tag) as one of the tags. Please use 'Poemorama at Paper Poetry' as the kicker for each submission.
Title/subtitle: your choice (should relate to the specific theme)
Image: one image only Please note: your image must incorporate a handwritten/handcrafted element in either paper or digital format following Paper Poetry's submission guidelines.
Promotional link: please add a link to the Poemorama prompt announcement related to your submission, e.g., if responding to a prompt from Part II, then link this announcement to your story.
Tags & shoutouts: feel free to @ handle tag up to five other poets into your story; please use your discretion. Also, please feel free to promote up to three other poets' Poemorama submissions, including one of your own.
A Note from Paper Poetry's Editors
Running events: Because of the Poemorama month-long prompt, we will not be running a Poetry Series or a Sparked Ink Writer promotion. So, for this month, Poemorama will replace our usual weekly prompts. Of course, regular, non-Poemorama submissions will be accepted, as usual.
New Writers: New writers are most welcome to participate. If you want to be added as a writer, please include your Medium @ handle in the comments below; or email us at [email protected].
Newsletter: To make sure you receive announcements about our special events & weekly poetry prompts, we encourage you to subscribe to our newsletter, Paper Poetry Sparks. Please find the sign-up form at the end of this post.
Let's go!
