Poetry Friday Eve!

Poetry_Friday logo‘Twas the day before Poetry Friday
And all through the kidlitosphere,
All the bloggers were stirring -
Hoping it would be here…

Welcome to Poetry Friday Eve!

I’m very excited to be hosting the festivities tomorrow, so I thought I’d do everyone a favour and start accepting links now in order to get a head start.  Makes sense, yes?

So if you have something you’d like to share, just leave your link(s) in the Comments section and I’ll update tomorrow’s blog throughout the day!

Thanks, Matt

    Hi Matt, I am not exactly sure how I arrived here. Perhaps it was through Catherine Johnson and Facebook. It feels like a Monday morning to me!

    I am not sure how this works but I have a blog post here that contains one of my (own) favourites. http://inspirationimport.wordpress.com/2012/06/17/poetry-written-in-a-car-dealership-mindfulness-and-meditation/

    Thanks!

    I assume my pen name on poemish.com is J-Boon. I want to share my poem titled ‘Happy New Year ‘ for your event. I hope you will give me a chance to paricipate in it.

    HI Matt
    I’m planning weekly blogs from various contributors over the year every Thursday this year – VerseDay! We’re looking at all forms of verse but I’m especially interested in verse novels, hence my blog versenovels.com. I’d love it if you would invite your visitors to check it out. I’m highlighting the Cybils nominees too.

    Very nice, Matt–and a Happy New Year to you! Thanks for taking on the role of host this first week of 2013.

    My poem this week is a tongue-in-cheek look at my own “Fiscal Crisis.” It’s here: http://wp.me/pC77F-lV

    Hi, Matt! I’m having some trouble with comments, so I hope I haven’t posted twice.

    Today, I’m posting poem #4 in my poetry postcard/birthday project. This is one for American history buffs. Both the new poem, “Thick Skinned,” and the postcard refer to the Civil War battle between two ironclad ships, the Merrimack and the Monitor.

    Thank you for hosting and happy new year!

    Hi Matt,

    Happy New Year and thanks for hosting! I’ve been following Poetry Friday for a while and I just recently began a new online journal called The Writer’s Whimsy, so I’m jumping in if that’s okay. My contribution is called “Put On Your (Fishing) Poetry Hat. http://www.tamerawillwissinger.com/the-writers-whimsy/2013/1/3/put-on-your-fishing-poetry-hat.html
