Hi Teri!

 

Hope you are having a great day.  I have a question about the format of the poems.  When reading last years entries again (terrific poems!), the lines are all "compressed" with no stanza breakss line breaks, etc as they might have been submitted. 

 

If we submit them in a format with stanzas and spaces, will these be left out when they are received and/or presented? 

 

Many thanks,

Clemmie

Clemmie,

 

You put your poem into a SharePost and format it as you want. We won't be changing the formatting. So, however it looks when you submit it is how it will end up looking. We just need everyone to adhere to lines of no more than 80 characters, including spaces, and poem no longer than 60 lines.

Thank you!  I wasn't sure if last year's participants had submitted as we see them in their shareposts, or if the formatting was altered. 

 

I read your earlier sharepost regarding your migraine and weather. I am so sorry--I hope the course changes soon and that you are feeling better ASAP.

Hugs, Clemmie

You're welcome, Clemmie, and thanks!

 

Did you watch the "Migraine Blues" video?
