MARQUEE POEMS

Threshold Arts wants your short poems for a one-of-a-kind pop-up publication opportunity.

Poets are invited to submit your short poem to be displayed on the Chateau Theatre's marquee for the #marqueepoems program. Consider composing either a "24 Karat Couplet" or a Haiku.

Submit either a two-line couplet with up to 24 characters* in each line or a three line haiku with up to 24 characters in the first and third line and up to 44 characters in the middle line.

Selected poems will be posted on the marquee at Chateau Theatre on Peace Plaza for approximately one week, and featured on Threshold Arts’ social media platforms and archived below. Poets will be notified at least one week prior to installation.

*character counts include spaces


One peach cloud lingers
A phantom of setting sun
Night not yet begun
