February marks the beginning of Post It Note Poetry month. It began 3 years ago as a challenge between myself and my writing partner at the time, Jodi Cleghorn – a month of bad poetry, written on a Post It Note.
You can find my collection of Post It Note Poetry over on tumblr as well as some other poetry including blackout/erasure poetry.
My first Post It Note poem written on February 1, 2013.
I will be posting a new poem daily in February #postitnotepoetry and will also curate the poems here each week.
But here’s the challenge: why don’t you have a go? Grab a packet of Post It Notes (any colour will do) and write a poem each day. Post it to twitter and include the hashtag. Include me too (@revhappiness) so I can see what’s going on.
If you can’t do it every day, no stress. Do what you can. Don’t censor. Write with both heart and mind.
Sunday marks the First of February and a month of writing poetry on Post It Notes. Have at it!
A Fullness in Brevity - Adam Byatt 
Have we decided on a hashtag?
I have simply used #postitnotepoetry or #postitnotepoem in the past.
I was thinking that a shorter hashtag might leave more room for words but then I remembered we take pictures 🙂
Is it worth promoting it on Australian Poetry?
Don’t know. Doesn’t feel high brow enough for that 🙂
I think that they might be amenable.
Fire them an email or carrier pigeon missive.
Oh Fab! Thanks for the reminder! Challenge accepted… *goes off to find pretty post it notes*
Go for it! Make sure you let us know where to read them.
For sure! 😀
Finally organised. First three are here…only 25 to go.

Great to see. If you’re on twitter, post them there too. #postitnotepoetry
