Welcome to Poem Farm

Grow your curiosity and creativity. 

A question is a seed. An answer waters it.

How Does it Work?

It all starts with you — your questions are the seeds from which we’ll grow poems.

Ask anything, big or small, and receive your answer in the form of a poem. Your question may be silly or serious, hypothetical or practical, personal or impersonal.

Here are some ideas of the kinds of questions you might ask:

• Where do ideas come from?
• What should I do when I steep my tea for too long?
• Why is Italy shaped like a boot?
• Who can I turn to when I have writer’s block?
• What’s the best song in the world?

Submit your question to the seed supply.
