**ATTENTION: SCHEDULE NOW FULL! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR ENTHUSIASM!**
Dear Poetry Friday Friends & Other Poetry Lovers,
Dear Poetry Friday Friends & Other Poetry Lovers,
You’re invited to join in a special experimental community
poetry writing experience during National Poetry Month (April)!
working title: 2012 KidLit Progressive Poem
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.
All participants will be provided with the html code
containing the line-up (similar to what Mary Lee does for us for Poetry Friday
schedule). On the day you are scheduled to post, you will snag the poem from
the previous day’s blog, add your line and post the growing poem!
Also, it would be
great if you could include in your post the schedule for readers to more easily
follow along/look back/ look forward.
And that’s it! We’ll all contribute our line… then all
participants are invited to share the final poem on April 30!
So. I’ll take April 1, to kick up off.
We need poets for April 2-29. Sign up in comments (be sure
to include your blog url and email address in your comment!) and I will update here!

Yay, Doraine! Is there a particular date you'd like?
DeleteI'd love to participate! How about the 14th? http://www.randomnoodling.com d.mayr at comcast dot net
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like fun and similar to the "Exquisite Corpse" parlor game. So, perhaps you'd like play with that for a name!
Diane, that's a FANTASTIC idea! Thinking.... so glad you'll join us!
ReplyDeleteThis is a very idea (and I'm such a joiner). Please put me down for the 20th, and I'll feature the poem-in-progress for Poetry Friday. Thanks for instigating!
ReplyDeletePerfect, Heidi! Should be interesting to see all the twists and turns...
DeleteHeidi, please send me an email address so I can send you the Progressive Poem code. Thanks!
DeleteI'll play, Irene. How about Friday the 13th?
ReplyDeleteTabatha, the lucky 13th is YOURS. Yay! So glad you can play.
DeleteSign me up! My poetry friends and I have played this many times at our annual retreats; it usually produces the same effect as riding a roller coaster with your hands in the air - terrifying and brilliantly fun. Any day is fine for me.
