I just started writing poetry,l. I am not sure I am any good at it! But I am intrigued to see the work of other people.

This is a cool idea and I love the build prompt. I’m always seeking prompts anyway, so I’m glad to have someone else toss such an apropos concept at me. I’m definitely someone who builds up others… teacher. I’m here doing a lot of that training with feedback for others, but I’m also attempting to build myself up— change up— in this space.

Maybe check out what I’ve put here so far

I don’t understand algorithms. I don’t think they do much to build us up.

I've always loved writing poems, but never really had the courage to post/share them outside of my close friends before now. I just started a substack for my poetry and submitted a poem to the contest (eek) because why not!

This makes me happy! The very thing I hoped for through this contest. And I welcome more writers on Substack to do the same 🔥
