for those of you that do not frequent anna’s blog, free poems on a regular basis,, (and shame on you,, you know who you are……) i want to let you know that she has added a new duet of blogs that i am really in favor of supporting..
first of all,, and my favorite,, is your poems. your stories. it is a collaborative project on which we,, authors and poets alike can actually post our work (prose and/or poetry) directly to the blog,, (and, yes, of course you can link to your blog!!) thus making our work available to a larger audience,, and supporting the writer/poet community here on the web…
so if you are interested in a new venue for some of your work,, i would suggest you stop on over and have a read,, and feel free to register with the site,, and add your work.. wouldn’t it be wonderful,, if we could combine our audiences??? what a readership we could boast then!!!!
i have offered up my first piece for publication over there,, entitled, as the dust swirled,, and would really appreciate it if you clicked thru to have a read…
please feel free to contact anna either by email at anna (at) poempoempoem.com,, or thru a comment on either of her blogs if you need further information….
secondly,, its sister blog, poem poem poem is a poets resource blog.. it offers information such as:
1. an up to date listing of the working online poets.
2. a resource for finding “free poetry”. both individual poems and books of poetry
3. a direct link to purchase published works of poetry.
4. a link providing publisher information, for both in print and internet publications.
5. as well as an huge listing of poetry workshops available,, on a variety of subjects.
i have had the honor today of publishing one of anna’s poems, the mermaid poem over on the ink pot ,, so if you would enjoy seeing a sample of her excellent work,, you can drop on over and have a read….
the site is brand spanking new,, and is still in its infancy,, so your contributions, comments, and patience would be greatly appreciated… i just cannot help but feel these new sites have the potential to become a really great place to bring together our creative efforts…
the feed options for both poem poem poem and your poems. your stories. are available in the side bar, for those of you that would like to keep an eye on it’s progress,, and see if it appeals to you….
thank you in advance for your participation…

Sounds like a great idea. You know I don’t write poetry but I would be very keen to contribute some prose. Coming to have a look right now.

Lately it feels like everything is poetry. I love your poems and many others. But I write prose and I’m beginning to feel that prose is unwanted or thought less of when it’s difficult to make simple words seem to flow effortlessly
Sorry I have bronchitis. My apartment hasn’t sold yet, I can’t sleep and I used to turn to the blogosphere for comfort. But if it’s not poetry it’s mundane prose by people who seem to take you into their lives but really don’t show you the true falls that are “popular” and I feel like the bitch from hell for even saying this
But I used to feel part of many blogging communities and now I feel I walk solo as if I have never existed in the blogging world.
