👉 Don’t forget: July’s prompt is live! Write your response and leave it in the comments to be considered for the podcast and journal.

Every month, except December, there is a short video on the Poetry Pea YouTube channel and you are invited to leave your poems, as many as you want, in the comments section under the video. The poems that are chosen by our editor Linda Ludwig, are featured in podcasts and of course in the Poetry Pea Journal.
