NATURE-themed quarterly contest. |
"Verdant Poetry Group" Founded by GERVIC Managed by Choconut "To me a lush carpet of pine needles or spongy grass is more welcome than the most luxurios Persian rug." - Helen Keller Though inspiration as a poet truly comes from within, nature can act as a means to enhance imagination and devices used in our poetry.
