Poet Bio: I'm a poet, teacher and instructional designer in Washington, D.C., where I live with my wife and daughter. I have a love of social justice, nature and being goofy with my daughter (and wife and friends).
You may be asking: "So, poet Andrew, what are you doing here?"
For me, poetry is the flower that splits the rock: it opens the hard places and blooms inside them. I encourage you to give the gift of poetry to many others by donating here.
You might be saying: "Ok, but what's in it for me? What do I get?
And I will answer: Stop asking such easy questions! Want to get in on the poetry action? Here are a few ways you can donate below.
$1/1 Line Found Poetry - Have you ever wanted to have your poetry published on a website? Now you can! Donate $1 and fill out this form to submit one line of poetry of any length. At the end of every week, I'll compile all of the lines and create a poem out of them!
Haiku - You know the drill: 5/7/5. Name and subject, and you'll have a personalized haiku if you donate $5-$10. Fill out the form here!
Sonnet - One of my most favorite forms of poetry is the sonnet. 14 lines of amazingness can be yours for a donation of $15-$30. Fill out the form here!
Request a Dedicated Poem - Do you want me to write a poem dedicated to someone or something? All you need to do is donate $35-$50, fill out this form where you name your favorite person, flower, blade of grass, pet Big Foot or whatever you wish, and I'll write you a poem dedicated to said person, thing or person-thing!
