Like our sister site, Every Day Fiction, our goal is to bring you a new poem every day.
For The Reader
Poetry is all around us. It is in the rhythms of our daily lives, the drab and the colourful–moments, hues, smells, the music of a child’s laughter, the screech of brakes. But very often we don’t have time to stop and experience the moment. That’s what we hope to allow you to do through the work presented here–stop and look at the world everyday from a different angle; the small detail and the grand design. We hope to enrich your day. Whether you like Haiku, Villanelle, iambic pentameter or alexandrines, prose poems, concrete or Limericks, we hope you’ll find some rhyme and reason here and some things to treasure.
For The Contributor
Every Day Poets is offering you several unique incentives to publish your poem here. Since we publish a short bio and link back to your website or blog, you can consider your poem as being a kind of advertisement for your collection or other writing. This is an opportunity to get your writing seen and get your name out there. We will also allow a link to your work on Amazon to help you drive your own sales.
We recognize that your efforts to promote your work will benefit our magazine so we hope to continue the custom of interviewing the author of the poem that gets the most (unique) page views every month and posting that on the site. That gives you a great opportunity to talk about what you are trying to achieve through your poetry and, as all you poets out there know, that is rare indeed!
For now, our cash payment is small because our print schedule is so aggresive, but we hope our magazine will grow along the same lines as Every Day Fiction so that as we prosper, you will share in our reputation. We look forward to reading your work.

Hey Oonah
You need to let Don know about this

Terrific news, Oonah. Now if you could just give me a few lessons on how to write poetry ;¬)
But seriously, very best wishes on what will become a runaway success!

Whether you like Haiku, Villanelle, iambic pentameter or alexandrines, prose poems, concrete or Limericks
What about plain old blank verse?
At any rate, cool idea.

Lots of luck, Oonah. Great news. We’ll all be routing for you. I’m sure this will be as successful as EDF.

Thank you for your thoughtful comments on all three of my poems. I will see if I can rewrite “Aubade on My Fifty-Fourth Birthday” within the next week. I can’t promise anything, but I will try.
I have just sent one more poem and I will send another after I send this comment.I’ll wait before sending a third to see about “Aubade…”.
Just want to thank you again for your promptness and thoughtfulness. It’s rare, and very welcome.
Best,
Peggy

Peggy, we aim to show everybody’s work in its best light. That is why we are keen ot give our best comments and thus far everyone has taken them in exactly that spirit. We know there’s a person behind every poem.
Thank you all for your comments. We are well on our way to a first issue. Your support is very much appreciated by the team.

Thank you for the opportunity to allow me to present my poetic views to others without costing me, a nomad without income. I look foward to posting my work with you.

Oonah, I’ll pass on submitting more work. I am getting ready to get my travels on:) Keep up the good work. Peace.
November 3rd, 2008 at 5:28 am
Oonah, etal!
Congrats on this wonderful venture-I will return again and again and will place a link to this site on my websites as well.
Well done and so exciting!

This is such a fabulous site for focusing on the art and craft of writing. I look forward to perusing even more as time permits. Thank you very much for the acceptance of two of my poems. I shall look forward to seeing them here. In the meantime, I’d like to offer everyone two quotations I have loved since I read them; they definitely apply to being a creative soul.
“Among the Haida Indians of the Pacific Northwest, the verb for “making poetry” is the same as the verb “to breathe”. ~ Tom Robbins, from “Another Roadside Attraction”
