The Hypnotoad is especially fond of scifaiku.

We know you’re out there, poets. We have incontrovertible evidence. So bust out those pens (or, you know, keyboards) and dash off a few lines for us. It’s what Marianne Moore would do.

Things we like: villanelles, limericks, haiku, free verse, invented forms, vivid imagery, sestinas, narrative poems, blank verse, playful use of sound, ballads, sonnets, prose poems, tanka, lyric poems, and odes.

One thing we don’t like: in the words of our illustrious Production Editor, “wonky-ass formatting.” If left-justification of all lines will ruin your poem, please don’t send it to us.

Check the guidelines, then submit.
