Write Out Loud’s Poem of the Week is taking a break for the summer. After more than three successful years that have revealed the breadth and depth of poetic talent on this poetry website on numerous occasions, we feel it might be time to refresh its format. We know that it’s been a very popular feature as a showcase for poets that use this site, and that many of you contribute to it with your comments. Thank you for all your supportive words for our Poem of the Week winners. It is planned that this feature – of selecting an outstanding poem on Write Out Loud – will return in a new form in the autumn.
