My first November submission is to a competition for short poems (16 lines or less), to be displayed on the sides of buses in a suburb north of Chicago! Up to 12 poems will be selected, one per month.

Previously published poems are welcome, which is nice. I am submitting two that have been published elsewhere & one that hasn’t. For this venue, I think positive, accessible but fresh poems are probably most appropriate—ones that will make people on the street smile & think at the same time.

Notification will be no later than December 5, which is great.
