We realize everyone is very busy this time of year, and we hope you all are enjoying the holidays — perhaps even finding ways to work poetry in here and there between spending time with family and friends, and taking time for yourself to reflect on the year and look ahead to the new year.

We are making this week a free week here at Read Write Poem. We will post the Get Your Poem On post this coming Monday, and it will remain open all week. Feel free to pick a prompt from the Random Prompt generator to your right, or pick a random writing tip and share what you create using that tip this week. Or you might want to kick back and spend some time reading and share your thoughts on what you read. There’s a random reading tips generator in the sidebar as well to give you some ideas about how to approach reading poems and get you out of a reading rut if you happen to be in one.

And if anyone wants to continue working with their partner (assigned last week) on collaborative poems, we encourage you to do so and to share a link to whatever you’ve written together when the Get Your Poem On post goes up.

We want to remind everyone that we’ll be rolling out some great new content on the site soon. We also want to thank everyone for taking part in Read Write Poem and helping to make it a success.

As usual, please feel free to leave comments on this post, but wait for the Get Your Poem On post before leaving permalinks for your contributions this week.
