Celebrating National Poetry Month with AC

(Thank you, AC James, for writing this post)

Happy National Poetry Month!

Associated Content’s Sources come from a wide range of writing backgrounds, and National Poetry Month gives us a great excuse to showcase our many talented creative writers.

Help AC celebrate by participating in a series of fun poetry challenges all month long. Sources that fulfill any of the challenges will automatically be eligible to receive a $10 bonus at the end of the month.

Check the Assignment Desk every day in the month of April for new poetry challenges, visit the Poetry Lover's Thread in the Forum, and have a very happy National Poetry Month!

The Associated Content Dead Poet's Society

One of Associated Content's poets maintains an excellent blog to highlight his fellow AC bards and their verse.

Called "Dead Poet's Society: An Outlet for Poets on Associated Content," it is maintained by a Content Producer called deadPoet. Updated frequently, the blog highlights individual poems and AC poetry writers. It also links back to conversations about poetry in the AC Forum. You can make some amazing discoveries on Dead Poet's Society.

Writing poetry is incredibly popular at Associated Content. Last year, over 4,000 Content Producers published at least one poem on AC. The poetry contests, like the Valentine's Day contest that recently wrapped up, get hundreds of submissions from people eager to exercise their creativity and have their work read and appreciated by others. You can see the winner of the Valentine's Very Short Love Poem here.

Stop by deadPoet's blog tonight, it'll help you discover a new favorite poet or poem on AC.
