The PODcast
(Poem of the Day...cast) delivers a new poem to
listeners each day. Yep - A new audio poem every
day!
The subject matter
is open so you may pick any of your favorite works
for this podcast; however, per your beta
suggestions we intend to run 'theme weeks'
during which you the poets pick a topic and contribute
works in alignment. Check back to this page later
for further details.
Remember, to submit
a poem it must also be posted in your Den as text.
