Thanks Deb for taking over, I had just decided to participate in 2008 when I saw it was gone….I did a submission via the random prompts I would like to share…my prompt was confessions! Hope you enjoy.

I’m so happy you are able to manage the site, deb! Now it can keep unfolding and evolving.

I’m looking forward to reading all the great poems, and geting to know all the poets involved here.

The only resolution I have for now is to come up with a cool sign-off catch phrase!

Thanks …deb, and best of luck.

And a belated thanks to Cerwiden for starting this in the first place. It takes courage to know your limits.

I knew there was a reason (other than stubbornness) that I didn’t take down the link from my page…

I *love* and appreciate the enthusiasm…

…links to “resolution” poems – or anything you want to write about – actually get posted next Monday, when the “Get Your Poem On” post is up. But heck. It’s a party. Just come back Monday and repost then as well, Roberta and Mad Kane.

Ah, shucks. My basic goal is to not muck up what has already been started…and keep it it going…in whatever form it takes.

This is good news to hear!
And here I was thinking, as I loaded the site, if no one had taken it on yet, I would volunteer. I’m not done with this project yet!

Deb, let me know if you need a hand.

And thanks again for continuing this, Deb.

I woke up feeling so happy and relieve that …deb has decided to run the joint. Thank you, …deb. You will be brilliant in this role.

Oh here is my contribution. I know it is gross, just blame the random prompt generator. stunned

hooray! I am truly excited. Cerwiden thank you so much for starting up the site and Deb thanks for taking over. The random prompt generator gave me vertigo as a word which is how I felt when I first read the site was closing: emotional vertigo.

I’m so glad you’re continuing this! It’s well worth maintaining!

I am so excited to see all your voices here!

I love this site, too, which is why I decided I *had* to lend a hand. Here’s to poetry: reading and writing!

Hey, that’s great! Thanks, …deb. I think there’s a real place for a site like this. I may not be the most sociable fellow in the world, but I do like a challenging prompt, i.e. a kick in the pants, from time to time. I also like the name of the site – the fact that *reading* is put first!

Thanks …deb for taking over. I know it is not easy to run something like this. You can count on me to support you. I am very glad, it is not closing down. I will come up with something for this prompt. Better late than never.
