Submissions to tinywords 24.1 — and a new writing prompt

A photograph of the Sombrero galaxy, Messier 104 (M104).

Tinywords 23.2 has now ended with Paul David Mena’s senryu “smooth jazz”. We will be on pause until the next issue, 24.1, begins at the end of March.

The submission window for tinywords 24.1 opened on February 1st and closed on February 29, 2024.

To keep things lively while we work on the next issue, we present a new writing prompt: A photo image of the Sombrero Galaxy, Messier 104, taken by the Hubble telescope. A galaxy so named for its shape’s resemblance to that of the Mexican hat. This glittering galaxy is 30,000,000 light years away and 50,000 light years wide. Proportions and distances that large are hard to wrap one’s mind around.  But we hope the enormity and beauty of our universe will inspire you to write a tiny poem or two.

Be sure to share them with us: Leave your best efforts in response to the photo prompt in the comment box below and the tinywords editorial team will share the best of the best in tinywords 24.1, due out in late March, 2024.

Thanks again for dropping by. We look forward to reading what you have to say.

Be well,

The editors
