ReadWritePoem

I don't know if it is a bad "business" decision to point you to other sites that offer writing prompts, but hopefully you'll still return to this site and our own regular monthly writing prompt. ReadWritePoem has a mission that feels very similar to Poets Online -

Read Write Poem is an online gathering place for those who love poetry — and for those who suspect that, with a little nurturing, they could grow to love poetry. Whether you are new to writing poetry or have been writing for years, you are welcome here. If you don’t write poetry but love to read and discuss it, this is also the place for you. (And who knows? After participating for a few months, you might realize you want to try your hand at writing a poem or two after all.)

- but they certainly have more staff than Poets Online since it's hard to get smaller than one. I came across the site via a guest prompt by Dorianne Laux that is a good place to start.

You may have noticed the ShareThis logo appearing at the bottom of my posts here. If you click on that, it allows you to share this post (and blog) with others via your accounts on Delicious, Facebook, MySpace, Twitter, Digg or many others, or your own blog or that old standby, email.

The folks at ShareThis were nice enough to notice that Poets Online users were clicking and sharing, and so hey featured this blog on their own blog this month on their Roll Call 7.9.08

We definitely appreciate all of you spreading the word about the blog and the Poets Online site with friends you think would enjoy our collected efforts.
