Harvest Harmony

Because we want to promote a national consumption of literature, we are creating a new kind of poetry-meme through our online zines. 

Contestants should send us their previously unpublished 12-line poems or 100-word stories about autumn, harvesting, hunting (even mushroom hunting counts!), or other annual autumnal activities to choeofpleirnpress@gmail.com during the month of September. Two winners will be chosen each week during October. Your email should include a 100-word 3rd person bio that will be published on this webpage.

Choeofpleirn Press will announce the two weekly winners each Friday of October through our Facebook wall.

Those memes will also be located here as part of our collective Harvest Harmonies zine. Feel free to copy and share these poem-memes to help us spread great literature across the internet!

See the image carousels below for previous winners.

There is no cost to enter this contest. Send us your best.

Poetry-Memes for Harvest Harmonies 2024

Our poetry editor loved so many of the poems we received for the Harvest Harmonies contest this year that he wanted to post 10 poems, instead of the original 8 we had agreed upon. 

Editors Ruth J. Heflin and James P. Cooper added their poems as examples of the poetry-memes Choeofpleirn Press will produce for this zine.
