Our First Batch of Contributed Poems
We are happy to present the first group of 10 poems written by our contributors. As you will see, some of these poems are rooted in the physical world, while others present abstract–even emotional–ideas. There is no limit to the kinds of subjects you can put forth in a 10. The form may be brief, but it can still be very powerful. Please join in the fun and give it a try yourself.
Learn how to contribute your 10 here.
