Poem of the Month: List Poems

Ends on

Every month, we feature a Poem of the Month. 

This month, we want to read your best List Poem.

Interpret it however you wish.

The “Poem of the Month” is accompanied by both a contributor’s and an editor’s note and a custom piece of artwork created by Derek Mueller.

Selected poems will be published on our website as well as ONLY POEMS DAILY, and shared on our socials, where over 50K+ 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 option and paid feedback options. These help us sustain the magazine. 

We will respond to all submissions within three weeks.

We use Submittable to accept and review our submissions.
