Bermuda Triangle Submission Guidelines

Pangaea Prize

The Pangaea Prize is awarded for the best series of poems ranging between two and up to seven poems in a group.

Judging will be based on poems as individual entities as well as their cohesiveness – that can be in terms of common themes, images, narrative or however else you would like to group your poems. All poems must be previously unpublished.  There are no restrictions to length or style.

The Poet's Billow Online Poetry Workshop

Join us for next week’s workshop. Share a poem, read some poems, talk about poems–think about poetry. Be inspired to write new poems. We love Poetry! https://thepoetsbillow.org/wednesday

Wednesday Workshop is an online poetry workshop held weekly where participants share one poem which receives feedback from other workshop participants and a workshop leader who is an award winner poet. These are small groups, so space is limited.

Size: 1-5 participants
Cost: $35

I woke up this morning to the sound of a table saw. My neighbors installing French doors in the back of their house, which my bedroom overlooks. The bedroom where I’d hoped to sip coffee and read the news in much more peaceful conditions. So, what brought me to this video was disgust. Plain hate for our noisy mechanical world. What I found instead: the universe in a cylinder. Holy cow, minute 3:

How Engines Work

How different the world looks up close, in slow motion…

Write on,
