Join The Holiday Poetry Chapbook Challenge!
(Last Challenge of 2021)
​
December 13th-December 20th 2021 

The holidays are a magical time, a stressful time, a happy time a sad time, a confusing time, a busy time, a time of reflection...but one thing is for sure...

they are always emotional times.

We've all experienced holiday traditions, both spiritual and commercial, familial and community...

And the holiday spirit is a great prompt for creativity. 

That's what this challenge...the Holiday Poetry Challenge is all about! Write about your holidays...the traditions, the food, the fun, the family, the festivity, all of it and more.
