Have you wanted to try out poetry but are to devoted to your current story or roleplay?
Why not do both with some
#characterpoems !

Expand you're small garden to a full orchard by creating a poem from the POV of/ or inspired by your favorite character/OC!

What would your favorite character write about? Angsty parental problems, Annoying quests, annoying people, best friends, found family, significant other? It's all up to you!

Just write a poem, from the perspective of you main character, OC, and post it with the hashtags #characterpoems #NaPo

Have fun!

Hello hello! With NaPo coming up, we're having a special song lyric discussion for our Poetry Readers pad this March! The date/time will be (adjusts to your timezone). You can bring song lyrics from any musical artist you like to discuss. Some examples of the things we might talk about would be favourite lines, how the language of the song makes you feel, etc.

As usual all YWS rules and the content rating system will apply to the pad. Said pad will be posted in the Poetry Readers club and on the People's Tab.

We hope to see you there!
