Poetry & Cartoon Guidelines
| Poetry: | ||||||||||||||||
| Poems must relate to our editorial subject matter and contain a touch of humor or some twist of fate. We seek action-oriented verse offering insight into human or animal nature and/or working with draft animals and other livestock. Poems that tie in with the seasons are always welcome; submit them at least six months in advance. | ||||||||||||||||
| ||||||||||||||||
| Format: We prefer short poems of 12 lines or less. We consider only old-fashioned poems with traditional meter and true rhyme. We do not publish free verse or stream of consiousness. | ||||||||||||||||
| Submission: Send no more than three poems at a time, one per page or email message. You need not include a cover letter or bionote. For a reply to a mailed submission, include a self-addressed stamped envelope. | ||||||||||||||||
| Cartoons: | ||||||||||||||||
| Cartoons must relate to our editorial subject matter. Ink is preferable, but pencil is acceptable if the lines are solid and erasures are not visible. | ||||||||||||||||
