Open Sorcery
Welcome to a new Clickbait series, Open Sorcery, an open source collaborative poem-writing series. As we all know, poetry is magic. We will be writing a new poem together each week in Google Docs in the interest of creating some collective magic! If you would like to add to this week’s poem, please follow these Open Sorcery commandments:
Thou shalt not edit the existing text.
Thou shalt not make changes to the font or formatting of the document in any way.
Thou shalt add no more than no more than one line (or 10 words) per entry and no more than 5 entries per day.
Though shalt break the line before adding your entry so that you leave the previous writer’s entry intact.
Though shalt not use copyrighted material (unless you are licensed to use it).
Though shalt not use hateful or bigoted rhetoric of any sort.
Please also note the following:
You may add stanza breaks or play with the space on the page, but please do not add full page breaks or create excessive space between your entry and others’.
The document updates automatically here on the site about every 2-3 minutes, so please do not expect to see your entry added in real time.
If you would like to submit a title for a future week’s poem, please do so here!
A note on publishing rights:
If your entry consists of your own original material or you own first rights to it, you will retain all rights to it and may use it at your sole discretion in perpetuity. By adding your entry, you authorize The Poetry Society of New York, Inc. to reproduce, publish, or otherwise copy your entry and to share it online, in print, or through any other communication medium without necessarily receiving credit or compensation. Given the anonymous, collaborative, and open source nature of this project, we thank you in advance for your understanding on this.
