🌚 Every month, we feature a
Poem of the Month. This month, the theme is:
ELEGY. Interpret it however you wish. The "Poem of the Month" is accompanied by both a contributor's note and an editor's note.
🌚 Selected poems will be published on our website as well as sent out via ONLY POEMS DAILY and on our socials, where over 60K+ readers will experience your work.
🌚 Beyond creating more exciting ways for poetry to shine through in the world, we wish to make the editorial process more transparent. Why do some poems stand out?
🌚 Each month has a new form or theme. The winner will be offered $33. You may submit only one poem.
🌚 While the submissions for the Poem of the Month category are free, there are also tip-jar options and paid feedback options. These help us sustain the magazine.
🌚 We will respond to all submissions within three weeks.
Submitting to ONLY POEMS automatically signs you up for our weekly newsletter. You can unsubscribe whenever you like.
All feedback is provided by experienced editors and reflects a careful, honest engagement with your work. We aim to offer thoughtful insight, meaningful suggestions, and encouragement rooted in close reading.
