Spot the Plot

Thanks for hosting, Kelly!

Oh, I love Poetry Fridays. So many creative people around!

I have a few verses from an original poem up this week - it's called "Lollygag." You can find it at The Drift Record

Thanks for hosting, Kelly!

Julie, I agree -- I love the creativity and variety of Poetry Friday!

My post this week is about capturing the small moments.

Hi Kelly,

I have two poems about fall. One is a short rhyme from Father Fox's Pennyrhymes. The other is October by Jacob Polley.

Kelly if you need any more hosts, let me know. You can plop me in anywhere.

I'm always happy to host Poetry Friday, any of those days will work for me. Just let me know :)

Hi Kelly,

I'm happy to take October 30th. Just before Halloween might be a bit of fun.

Tricia

Hi Kelly - I'm happy to take whatever date helps you the most. Fridays are good for me this year.

Good for you for learning the definition of the word "delegate!" Look forward to having you back in whatever capacity you choose.

We will miss you but anyways you will come back and that's all that matters.

Thanks for all the hosting, coordinating, and delegating. Enjoy a well-deserved break!

Thanks, Kelly, for this, and for all that you do!

Hi Kelly--OK, I haven't volunteered before because I don't know how to use Mr. Linky. But it's time to learn! So I could take Jan 9 or 16, if you like.

Thanks for organizing this, as always!

OK, I'm not usually so scatterbrained. But I just realized there's a very small chance I'll be out of town during that time in January, so I shouldn't commit to the 9th or 16th. I could take the 23rd, though, if it's still open.

I'll step up for Nov. 28! :-)

Can I have January 9th, pretty pretty please? I would love to host at our Author2Author blog and post a poem from my book that is released that week!

Thanks so much, and if someone else really wants that date, I understand. Just thought I would try. :)

I'll take January 16!

I'd be happy to host as well, whenever was needed.

I am happy to do Nov 7.

You're on, Jone!

Hey I am a young writer and illustrator who published his own childrens storybook entitled Karate Cat. It is up on Amazon and I think you would like it. Check it out and let me know what you think, i would highly value your opinion ;)

Could I do one of the December dates? Thanks.

I can do November 14. Thanks.

I'd love to host. Any of the dates will do.

Becky

Kelly,

I could do the roundup on December 5 or 12.

I've never hosted before, but would love to if you have dates open still.

I'd love to host. I could do Dec. 5, if Elaine chooses Dec. 12. Or I'm game to tackle Halloween-- Oct. 31.

I'll take Nov 14

Can't wait to see what you thought of Nikki's new book!

I could do December 26 if you want to have a day after Christmas Poetry Friday.

Twas the day after Christmas and all through the house . . .

Is anyone signed up for Halloween yet? If so, I'll try and pick another date.

We're not traveling for the holidays, so I'll be home and happy to host on December 26th for anyone who might want to participate.

I can do next Friday, October 10 at Picture Book of the Day.

I'm new to Poetry Friday, but I'd love to host.

I know it's not on your list, but it's so close that I can't help asking -- could I have Jan. 2 please?

I'd love to host Poetry Friday on our blog - I can do any of the dates that are left over!
Zsofi McMullin
Stenhouse Publishers

I'm up for hosting any of the December dates.
Laura

Kelly, I keep meaning to say -- like, for the past two years -- that I can host a PF some time if you still need people. I feel very ashamed that I haven't ever, EVER done that. Slacker. Me.

And I think it'd be a blast.

If no one else jumps for it, I'm a sucker for learning through experience, and I can do July 25 too (though I hate to hog them...)

Thanks for the chance to host!

Don't give Sarah July 25th yet! I need to switch from July 18 to the 25th -- just got final details about a conference I'll be attending at UCONN right up until the 18th.

Thanks for being flexible, thanks for organizing!

ML

I can do June 27th!

I can take July 18th (if my calculations about the open day are actually correct).

Or, if nobody wants it/volunteers, I can take May 9.

I'd be willing to host on May 9.

I'm delurking; but I'm happy to host if anyone needs me to - I'm a newbie, be gentle - and I'm available any of those dates.

Awesome, it's on my calendar! Can't wait.

I can host - not sooner than June...thanks!

Kelly, I would like to host sometime! Maybe in July?

Thanks for the shout out and passing on the poetry challenge. And thank you always for organizing Friday Poetry hosts. You can put me down for at least once this summer. It's a blast and I hope everyone finds a way to join in.

I'll take a July Friday if there's still one left!

I can host any Friday except the last Friday of a month. Let me Know which one.

I would be happy to host. Please let me know what I need to do. Thanks

Kelly,

I'd be happy to host Poetry Friday on any one of the following dates:
- May 30
- June 6, 13

I'm in for Poetry Friday with one we always read on Christmas Eve...

http://tushuguan.blogspot.com/2007/12/christmas-poetry-friday.html

Thanks for doing the roundup this week!

At Wild Rose Reader, I have an untitled poem I wrote for this week's poetry stretch at The Miss Rumphius Effect.

We will toast the Lakota Nation at our Solstice celebration tomorrow night!

OH my word, Gina! Thanks for the heads up on the Lakota Nation site. We just don't get this kind of news in the UK, and though I read two online California newspapers, I must have missed this. This is HUGE.

And you're right: I do think of Ashley and Rhett when the word "secession" comes up. If this actually goes through, it will be the beginning of a big, big thing.

That video makes me want to HUG her. She's lovely. And the poem you translated too. Pious raisins will be in my head all day.

I left my link with Mr. Linky, but it's here, too.

Thanks for hosting!

I'm in with 15 Words or Less poems--write one--at http://laurasalas.livejournal.com/28142.html.

And also with a question about how your accent might affect how you read and write poetry. http://laurasalas.livejournal.com/27815.html

Thanks for hosting!

This week I am suffering from acute intoxication due to Kelly Fineman's cookies -- I wrote an original acrostic.

Thanks for hosting!

Gina,
Wow! What a month you've had. I can't wait to check out the cooking web site. Will you link to it for us?

I'm in today with an original poem.
http://missrumphiuseffect.blogspot.com/2007/12/poetry-friday-original.html
Thanks for rounding us up.
Have a wonderful holiday!

Hello & thanks for hosting. I'm in with a very old favorite --
http://twowritingteachers.wordpress.com/2007/12/21/poetry-friday-twas-the-night-before-christmas/

I've got some Frost today.

Thanks for rounding up. I'll be holding positive thoughts for the Lakota, and that the turning of the year will be a turning toward the light in more ways than one.

I love the enraged water and Jesuit onions and all the other "ingredients" in Ms Alegria's poem.

Thank you for hosting us. I've posted a bit about a new reissue of Aileen Fisher's poetry, DO RABBITS HAVE CHRISTMAS?

Gina, thank you for rounding up.

I posted a bit about a rhyming picture book: Redbird at Rockefeller Center.

Susan T.
Chicken Spaghetti

Wow that is big news! Thanks for the heads up. I'll be watching/listening for more.

I've posted an original poem for Miss Rumphius' Poetry Stretch.

Thanks for rounding up, Gina, and happy holidays.

I'm in with Mr. Linky -- one poem (well, lyrics) for the winter solstice, and two favorite children's Christmas poems.

Also, thanks for the links to Clarabel Alegria. I love that poem! She has a wicked sense of humor and perfect pitch.

Thanks for hosting! My post is over at http://twowritingteachers.wordpress.com/2007/12/21/poetry-friday-a-tribute-to-my-co-blogger-ruth/.

Thanks for putting this Friday's poetry fest together. Merry Christmas!

Im joining for the first time. I posted one I had written a couple of years ago.

I'm in with a review of Winter Poems.

Thanks for hosting! I have a poem for Saint Thomas Eve (which was actually last night) from Christmas Folk by Natalia Belting, illus. by Barbara Cooney.

I've added another entry - a list of all the poetry volumes published in 2007.

http://susanwrites.livejournal.com/117405.html

Thank you for hosting once again.

A surprise second entry from me, as well! http://bunnyplanet.blogspot.com/2007/12/poetry-friday-ii-sort-of-haiku.html

Hope I'm not too late. Thanks for hosting!

I'm in with some Longfellow and Christmas Bells.

Have a great weekend!
