Postcard Poetry

Golden Gate Bridge, originally uploaded by Blumie the Koala.

Here is a link to a blog that has a noble postcard poetry theme to it. You register, then send the person below you on the list a poem that you’ve written. The next week you send the person below that person a postcard with a poem on it. You write a short, postcard-size poem each week, and send it to a person on the list. When you get to the bottom of the list, you simply begin at the top. Very cool idea.
