Welcome to 2016 and our 10th year as Kansas City Metropolitan Verse
The blog is, once again, active and I look forward to happenings with our poets.
Thank you to all that have given their blood, sweat and tears to hold us together, as a group.
Submissions for Anthology#10
We have submissions deadline for end of February or first of March (at the latest).
As one who is guilty of late submissions every year; my goal is to submit before I am prodded.
Our 10th edition anthology will be amazing! Brenda and Ralph are the dynamic duo of compilation and we can't thank them enough.
Winter Words February:
February should keep us snowed in a bit (hopefully)and our goal is to have numerous submissions for our 10th edition.
Each month I will challenge the group to a different form of poetry.
Keep them to share for when we get together, or submit them to me at sheila.madoniamaberry@gmail.com and I will post them here.

Please let me know what you would like to see on our blog and what you would love the community to know.
Also, share any ideas that you might have to keep us active and most importantly, writing.
Let's summon our muses and put
Enjoy the quiet of our snowy days, let your muses guide you and see you all in Spring!

Fences built
to detain the sand
not stop it - as
it bends in the wind
and folds on the edges
around the stone markers
The names and dates
quiet homage
To the baby, age one
The granddad from 1894
The young mother buried in 1968
Touched by the waves
The sun
The visitor
