No problem, WDS. We have a lot of content. I guess you could say we’re greedy for poetry.

On the right sidebar we have links to current prompts & posts. That might help you out. And the “about” is a good one to look at, too.

Glad you found us. Come back again.

Everyone should come back, starting early Monday morning and relink!

I am new. I thought this was the links post. It wasn’t immediately obvious, and I got distracted sorting through the academia. I’m looking only for your prompts and links, and will be more careful in the future.

Hey, it would be great if you guys would post your links again when the links post comes up. That way more people will come to your site to read your poems.

In a convoluted spirit of math, my post under prompt #10 was identified as my #5 -- it was actually my #4. Correcting the numerical transposition -- this post under prompt #11 is, in fact, my true #5.

I wrote a strange poem. Everything is a rough draft for me, so I wouldn’t be surprised, if it was radically different sometime in the future.

Oh, great prompt! I love math so much, but it would never have occurred to me to write a math poem. Thank you!

I’m excited about this prompt. I’ve been wanting to try the Fibonacci sequence. Now I have a great excuse!

Great, gautami! It was a stretch for me, because math has never been my strong suit. But we always avoid what we most need, so math it is!
