Happy Summer everyone! Here's a new Poetry Prompt for your perusal: Poetry Prompt #92: Houseware Nightmare This week, a tactile experience to promote your poetry: go into your Kitchen. Find 5 objects that you can touch. Use these items as 5 words to help you write a horror poem where the lights go out and your Kitchen objects conspire against you! Poem must be at least 12 lines long, in rhyming stanzas. Be original and creative, and most of all have fun! Congratulations to Jahaliel, whose poem |
It's been quite a while, but we've got a new poetry prompt for your attention at last! Sadly, due to that lack of member recommendations, we have no Featured piece of poetry for you this time. Remember, it's up to you to send us those recommendations if we're to continue with Feature Poems!
Please note a change in our Prompt schedule. We will intersperse Brain Box prompts with other Poetry Prompts as our current low level of staffing allows. If you'd like to help out, we're looking for moderators! Just PM Jamie to apply.
Without further adieu, your new Poetry Prompt:... |
*advisory thread* Hi everyone,
We're getting rid of our Portal Page and changing the layout a bit to include everything on one main page. I hope you like the changes. It should make the site a bit easier to navigate.
There are still a few tweaks to be made to the appearance of the new slide feature above, but we think it will help visibility of different parts of the site.
You're welcome to reply with any thoughts, concerns, complaints, or suggestions by replying to this thread. Or you can PM me if you'd rather do that. |
Hi everyone! Sorry for the lack of new prompts--personal life has been somewhat busy, and we're not exactly heavy on staff around here.

Then we hope to be back on track for a great year of your talented poetry! Follow us on Twitter and stay up to date on all the fresh events coming up soon! And try your hand at writing to the Dreams... |

Happy 2012, Poet Share!
Last month was an absolute mess for me personally, and both Harklight and I were pulled away from the site unexpectedly for personal matters. Fear not, we've not abandoned Poet Share! New prompts will begin next week once things have settled down a bit.
In the meantime, please send in your nominations for Featured Poems, and try your hand at one of the Writing Prompts.
May 2012 be a good year for all of us. |

Had We But Worlds Enough, And Time . . . | November 5th 2013, 11:57 am by Jamie | I never wanted to write this post. Life, however, brings to us changes of necessity, not changes we want.
Unfortunately, and as evidenced by the past few months' activities, I do not have the time to properly govern the use of this site anymore. While there are visitors every day, the posts by members are becoming fewer and farther between, and the staff participation is just as sparse.
