Dear readers and writers,
Welcome to March's first bloom.
As the days grow lighter and creativity begins to stir like birdsong at dawn, we are delighted to celebrate another month of powerful voices, poetic craft, and the shared joy of storytelling that enhances our community here at The Lark Publication.
Top Writer Announcement below:
Donald Warren Hayward is our new Top Writer this month.
We are proud to announce Donald Warren Hayward as The Lark Publication’s Top Writer for March 1, 2026.
Donald has become a distinctive, much-admired poetic voice in our publication. His work is marked by thoughtful reflection, emotional depth, and a lyrical sensitivity that lingers with readers. Donald’s poems carry a calm authority with expressive wording that always evokes wonder and vividness, bringing sweetness to the spirit of The Lark.
A dedicated contributor, Donald Warren Hayward has consistently shared pieces that demonstrate both technical care and an authentic poetic vision. His ability to balance clarity with evocative imagery makes his work accessible while still rich with meaning — an achievement that speaks to his skill and commitment to the craft.
Through his poetry, Donald reminds us that stillness can be powerful, that language can heal, and that even the smallest moments hold profound significance. We are honored to showcase his writing and to recognize the beauty he brings to our literary community.
We invite you to read Donald’s poems here at The Lark and experience the quiet brilliance of his work for yourself (see below).
Join the Flock
As always, The Lark welcomes new poetry, prose poems, flash fiction, and short fiction. If you have a piece that sings with joy, wonder, or heartfelt reflection, we would love to read it.
Competition
Our February prose poem competition has ended, and our next competition starts tomorrow, 2nd March 2026, and ends on 1st April 2026. The competition will be about your favorite charity. You will write about the charity and why you want to donate to it because someone you love or know has suffered. More details will come in another newsletter shortly.
