PoetryWITS
(Writers in the Schools) is looking for poetry from
students from first to twelfth grade who attend a public,
private, parochial, or charter school. Home-schooled
students are also encouraged to submit. We welcome poetry
of any style, subject, or form that is striking and
original; we appreciate poems that surprise us with
their careful grasp of language, specifics, music, and
accessibility. Easy rhymes and “light” verse
are less likely to inspire us. We do, of course, take
into consideration the grade level of the student.
We
do not publish everything submitted; all poems will
be judged on the quality of the content of the poem.
If your poems (s) are accepted, an editor will contact
you within one week. He or she may make suggestions
for improvement of your work before publication.
All
work must be in English and the original work of the
student. Please do not submit explicit work, or anything
particularly violent.
Please
do not submit more then three (3) poems at a time;
a student may have two poems simultaneously on the
web site.
If
you are published, please wait a month to submit again
for publication.
All decisions of the editors are final.
Thank
you,
PoetryWITS staff and editors
