2022 New Year Poetry Postcard Exchange

It's time. Sign up for the 2022 New Year Postcard Exchange. Send five, send ten or send to all.

Did you know there are 29 days until 2021 ends? Woohoo! Let's celebrate the New Year with a New Year Postcard? In Japan, it’s called Nengajo, a Japanese custom of ushering in the new year.

How It Works:

Choose to send five, ten postcards.
Create a postcard: you can buy a postcard and write a poem on the other side or you can create one postcard to send to everyone (I use Walgreens or Zazzle)
Once you get the names, send by February 1, 2022 (beginning of Chinese New Years)
If you choose, you can work in the Chinese animal for 2022: The year of the Tiger. It is not required.

I have a few 2022 Calendars for sale, $15.00 (includes shipping ).
If interested, please fill out this FORM.

Hi, Jone! I still have your December 2020 image and poem posted on my bulletine board:

from the bridge
late sunrise of the solstice
winter's arrives

Looking forward to being part of the exchange this year.

"year passes" -- Isn't that the truth? Life is kicking my butt, but I hope your postcard exchange goes beautifully, Jone. <3

Hi Jone, I have loved your calendar from 2021! I started writing poems to make my own calendar, but I didn't follow through. I admire your commitment. What a great haiku and view! I filled out the form to buy a calendar from you. How do I pay you? Can I be part of the New Year postcard exchange if I don't have a blog? I love the photo of your poet tree.
