Welcome to BattleBorn Poetry!

​

We are a poetry community that harnesses the power of words to nourish both soul and society. Founded by former members of Move Me Poetry, which closed their doors in 2023, we carry on the legacy of using weekly poetry challenges, online workshops, and publishing opportunities to nurture poets and spread the Well-being that words can yield. 

​

Our Mission is to create spaces where inner worlds and outward communities intertwine. Through the weekly #BornBattleReady prompt on Twitter, yearly anthologies dedicated to our "Voices of Valor", and our online Discord hub, we cultivate poetic warriors who courageously engage their hearts and lift up others through the power of words and poetry.

 

As with MMP before us, our guiding principals are Openness, Care, and Growth. We welcome all who want to discover themselves or simply find fellowship. And through collaboration with mental health professionals, we explore poetry's therapeutic potential to heal inner battles and empower self-worth.

 

Beyond weekly writing spars, we aim to arm our Battalion with wellness tools blending verse and self-care. Our goal is helping others fight what fragments them from within or without, so each member can confidently claim the regality that is inherently theirs. Together we will overcome obstacles and inspire others to follow courageously in kind.

​

We are still in our founding stages but aim to register as a 501(c)(3) in the future. For now, our volunteer Brass leads the way, and all assistance is welcome as we continue cultivating this garden of strengthening verses. Please reach out to learn how you can contribute as we sow further the seeds of communal care that our roots in MMP granted us.

​

You too were made to engage life fearlessly through your own inner fire.

 

And so we invite you to join us, and realise the truth — that we are all #BornBattleReady!
