Two Truths and a FIB Poetry Anthology
Coming January 2023

Have you ever played the ice breaker game "Two Truths and a Lie"? (Game: introductions made by telling three tidbits about yourself: two truths and a lie. Usually, the other people playing try to guess which of the three tidbits is a lie.) 

Well, my independently-published poetry anthology is based on this game.

Each submission should be three unpublished, original poems (written in English) following this formula: 








 Remember: 

• Each submission needs to introduce a well-known/general knowledge subject appropriate for ALL ages (ie. children, too!)

 

• The SUBJECT of your poems will be the TITLE.

 

• Poets may share a brief explanation of the poetry form(s) they used for their TRUTH poems, but all the FIBS will be Fib Poems* (see definition above).

 

• If you don't want to write up your own brief explanation of the poetry form(s) you used for the TRUTH poems, I will collaborate with you. One goal of this anthology is to have an instructional element as well as be a joyful collection of poetry.

 

• The three poems will be arranged in the order of Two Truths and a FIB as the title states.

⭐Please note: Adding an element of cleverness is a PLUS!  (again with the math references...sumtimes I just have to go there 😁)

📆SUBMISSION DEADLINE: 31 August, 2022 

All poets will be contacted by the end of September 2022.
