Dear Friends,
Hello, and Happy Poetry Friday! Be sure to visit lovely Louisianian Margaret at Reflections on the Teche for Roundup.
National Poetry Month (April) will soon be upon us, which means it is time again to sign up for our annual Progressive Poem!
Here's how it works:
Poetry Friday Friends and other poetry lovers are invited to join in a community writing experience during National Poetry Month (April).
What is it? a poem that travels daily from blog to blog, with each host adding a line, beginning April 1. Anyone who wants to join in the fun can sign up in comments below.
Also, it would be great if you could include in your post (or sidebar) the schedule for readers to more easily follow along/look back/look forward. And feel free to snag the above graphic.
And that's it! We'll all contribute our line... and we'll see where our poem takes us by April 30! Big thanks to Charles Waters, who has agreed to contribute our opening line (on his new blog!). Can't wait. :)
****THANK YOU! OUR ROSTER FOR 2014 IS NOW FULL!****
Sign up on this Google spreadsheet. Thanks!
ETA: Due to problems with the Google spreadsheet, you are welcome to leave your info in comments! Please request date with your name, blog name, blog url and email address. Thanks so much!

ReplyDeleteHello, Beautiful Irene! This will help me get back in the swing of things post-move for sure. Thanks for rounding us up again for another year of fun & wonder! I tried signing up on the sheet, but I couldn't get any words to type in the cute little boxes. If you still need a poet for April 16, I'll take it. :0) http://www.robynhoodblack.com - & you've got my email!
ReplyDeleteDear Robyn - the 16th is yours! Was just talking about you today... went too a haiku workshop with Terri French. xo

(We have two doing that this year.) Happy day to you.
DeleteHow did I miss this?!! Looks like you have a wonderful line up of poets. I'll be keeping up, even though I'm not contributing a line this year.
ReplyDeleteI would love to join you next year!
