Introducing our new challenge this year…Free Verse Fridays.
You may remember that last year my writing partner Bev and I did “Our Own Backyard” as our 2022 challenge. This year we are changing focus, and we are going to be doing a poetry challenge once a month. Yay!
Did you want to play along? We’d love to have you. If so, these are the parameters. Pick a picture related to the theme for the month. Then write a free verse poem related to the picture and the theme. Then on the first Friday of the month, post your picture and poem on your blog.
The themes for the first three months are as follows:
January—Beginnings
February—Winter
March—Green
Leave a comment on one of our blogs, linking to your blog. If you don’t have a blog, then feel free to put the picture and the poem in the comments.
I’m going to give you a preview of two pictures I am considering using for the first poem, which I will post on Friday. Now I’ll need to actually write the poem on the theme of “Beginnings”. Stay tuned.


I’ll meet you here next week, and I hope to see a poem from you too!

Love those photos Linda. Can’t wait to get started.
I’m looking forward to finding some unique pictures to share, as well.
What a great idea! I’d like to do something similar because I need to get back into a dedicated writing practice.
I’m trying to keep myself accountable. Buddying up really helps.
