Poetry is the spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings: it takes its origin from emotion recollected in tranquillity.

-William Wordsworth

Writing of great poetry has been the primary vehicle for expressing one’s thoughts, observations, historical events, and various philosophies.

To commemorate the Poetry Month, StoryMirror presents “Poem A Day”, a poetry writing contest to celebrate the expressiveness, delight, and pure charm of poetry.

30 Days, 30 Poems By Our Poetry Ambassadors

Want ideas to help you compose a poem? Looking for references to guide you? Say no more, because StoryMirror brings you a way to get your imagination in gear for “Today's Poetry Ideas with Poem of the Day”.

We have featured a few of our selected published authors as our Poetry Ambassadors for this contest. On the contest page, we will feature a poem of one of our Poetry Ambassadors everyday. The presented verse will provide you musings to help you paint more impactful poetries. You need to go through the poem, interpret the theme and create your own poem based on that. 

Alternatively, you can also choose to write on the theme of your choice.

Jury

Every art form needs its champions. We've invited four of the published and renowned poets with a deep understanding of poetry to join our quest to bring poetry to the people during the entire April Month as our Jury. Our judges will delight us with their original poetry, video readings and workshops.

So, join us and get cracking on those wonderful poetry ideas!
