In days gone by, many a famous riverboat such as The Delta Queen docked on Muscatine's riverfront.

Here's the plan!
1. Write a poem 2. Take a picture 3. Send us both of those.
Writing a poem.
Express yourself. Let the combinations of emotions and colors and memories come out.
Write it down. Some of the best poetry moments are lost to a poor memory.
Share it. There is no such thing as a bad poem. We won't judge. This is NOT a poetry contest. This IS poetry sharing FUN!
Taking a picture.
Express yourself. Show us what you see or discover. Your unique viewpoint is valuable.
Write it down. Save it and maybe edit it. This will be used as the background when your poem is on the screen. We prefer to use pics that show the river, whether in the foreground or background. DOES NOT need to be any particular river. Nature themes are best. Try to leave out people and other personally identifiable info. Boats and buildings are ok, but the bigger river setting is the thing. (a stock picture of our choice from our library may be used if you are unable to provide one).
Share it. There is no such thing as a bad picture. We won't judge. This is NOT a photo contest.
Send them to us.
Express yourself. Step out and take the bold step of sharing your creation with the world.
Write it down. Our E-Mail is riverfrontpoetry@gmail.com Please write "RFP Poem" in Subject Line. The poem can be a PDF or a text document or just plain text. The photo should be an attachment to the email. Please include the name of the person that actually wrote the poem as well as the name of the person that actually should be given credit for the picture.
Share it. There is nothing quite like the feeling you get when hitting that send button. We won't judge. This is NOT a contest.
