Hi! I am Ermelinda (shortened to Linda) from India. This is going to be my first poetry marathon and I am excited to be here. In April, I successfully participated in the Poem-a-Day Challenge. I also worked on a separate thread for NaNoWriMo writing  poems on alphabetical prompts. I hope to be able to have 24 new poems at the end of the Marathon.

Several of my poems saw online publication over the past year and a few were published in anthologies, the most recent being The Kali Project /Indian Women’s Voices.

I have self-published two books of Christian women-centric poetry. My Amazon author page link is: https://www.amazon.com/author/ermelindamakkimane
