For quite some time the Great Neck Record published weekly poems on our op-ed pages. The poems were delightful, quite diverse, and much appreciated by many of our readers. However, our "local poets" seemed to have stopped writing us of late. It's been quite some time since we proudly published poems written by our readers.

We would love to reinstate our "Local Poets" column. All we need is some poetry from our readers. We would all be just delighted to once again publish the poems written by Great Neck poets ... and aspiring poets.

If you are a poet, please feel free to share your work with your neighbors. We look forward to hearing from you.
