National Poetry Month Writing Invitation - Poem Submission Form 2025
You're invited to celebrate National Poetry Month with Portland, Maine's 8th Poet Laureate - Signature MiMi!

Throughout April, Signature MiMi will be sharing writing prompts that spark curiosity and invite us to reflect on the moments that move us. The intention is to encourage people to nourish their writing practice by offering invitations to write daily. The prompts are up for interpretation. Respond to them however you’d like or allow them to spark another point of entry to your journal. At the end of the month, we'll collect poems and artwork to create a zine that will be published later this summer.

Ways to engage:
1. Write or create to as many prompts as you'd like (posted here and here)
2. Share at an upcoming Creatives Gathering (4/16, 5/21)
3. Celebrate with us at the Portland Public Library (poetry reading & zine making) (5/17)
4. Submit your poems to our upcoming zine using this form (form closes on 5/14)

You can submit up to 3 pieces.
