“Orange Peals” - Call out for poetry

Written by Kwani · June 16, 2008

This is a call out to all poets around the word: Submissions are invited for the 7th E-book of the Quarterly Colour Series of Poetry.

Orange Peals, ‘a sense of the light-hearted,’ is the seventh e-book after Gray Spots, Blue Smudges, Red Streaks, Green Piece, Brown Steps and Indigo Smoothies. So far we have thought about life, enjoyed happiness, been political & seduced. This edition aims to cause poetry readers around the world to burst into peals of laughter - or at least make them smile.

You are invited to submit your work(s) for this seventh edition of the Quarterly Color Series of Poetry (QCS). Submissions must be made in a word document (.doc) and sent to poetry@alkags.com not later than 25th June 2008. Acceptance and selection of works to be published is entirely at the discretion of Al Kags and the Al Kags Trust.

The Quarterly Colour Series of poetry is a series of poetry ebooks that is published online every three months by the Al Kags Trust and distributed virally from one person to many via email, web sites, blogs and other electronic media. So far, the latest tally of the number of people that the book has been forwarded to is 286,000 in over seventy countries. We cannot track the book beyond that and we believe that hundreds of thousands more may have been touched by the poetry.

The series is meant to be a platform that allows poets, who want to be read, to speak to people’s souls around the world - freely & without inhibitions. The rights to the published poetry remains with the poet forever. By submitting however, the poet gives the reader the right to share, republish, recite - indeed spread it around the world at will - so long as the reader quotes the source.

To download all of the poetry e-books feel free to go to http://alkags.com

    i write poems only by the spur of the moment.most of them are just out of anger….
    about what am feeling at that moment.
    i wouldn’t say that i know much about poetry,coz wen am writin they don’t obey the poetry writin style.
    atleast i would proudly say some friends of mine have read them and liked them. may be through your help i can be able to shape them.
