If you write poetry, or just enjoy reading it, check out Poets United. It is a fast-growing, on-line poetry website that the moderator, Robb Lloyd, has put a ton of work into. He offers Thursday Think Tank prompts, the Poetry Pantry, where poets can post a poem for perusal and comments, interviews with featured poets and many activities designed to help poets network, gain inspiration and encourage each other.
When I started my poetry blog, I kept looking for poets on-line without much success. Then I went to Blogger Help and someone thankfully suggested Poets United. I visited, submitted something and the community accepted me in so generously.
Immediately I had that connection with other poets I had so been missing. It is wonderful to have feedback on one's writing, and not be writing into a vacuum. It also inspires me to KEEP writing, provides some inspiration and motivation.
Many thanks to Robb for the very effective and supportive site. I so appreciate all of you whom I have met through Poets United. Thank you to every single person who has taken the time to visit my site, read something, leave encouraging comments.........I cant tell you how much I appreciate every single comment.
