#ToAutumn: Poetry Challenge

As we wind down our poetry challenges for 2013, Poetry Northwest (@poetrynw), Instagramers Seattle (@Igers_Seattle) and JUXT (@wearejuxt) invite you to join our November challenge with the beloved poem, “To Autumn,” by John Keats.

We ask that you read the lines of the poem below. Spend some time with them, allow them to evoke emotion and creativity, and show us how it translates for you with a photograph.

The following is only a portion of the poem so we ask that you read the article on Poetry Northwest’s website to read it in its entirety:

   SEASON of mists and mellow fruitfulness,
   Close bosom-friend of the maturing sun;
   Conspiring with him how to load and bless
   With fruit the vines that round the thatch-eves run;

Challenge Rules

1. Submission dates: 11/1/13 to 11/30/13
2. Post a photo to Instagram and tag it with #ToAutumn and #ponwphoto
3. Poetry Northwest, Instagramers Seattle & JUXT will pick the winner who will receive a year long subscription (2 issues) to Poetry Northwest
4. Unlimited entries
5. Poetry Northwest, Instagramers Seattle & JUXT reserve the right to remove any photo deemed inappropriate for any reason
6. By participating, you understand that Poetry Northwest, Instagramers Seattle, & JUXT may reproduce and display your photo at future events and you will be notified if we intend to do so

We are excited to see your #ToAutumn images

    It’s such a beautiful poem. I look forward to my attempts to create it in a photograph. Wish me luck!
