Poetry Fishbowl Open!
NAME OF THING: November Poetry Fishbowl
DESCRIPTION OF SERVICE: You give me a prompt and I write a poem based on it. This month's theme is "doors and passages."
WHO IS ELIGIBLE (preferably this should be available to anyone!): Everyone. Come one, come all! Bring some friends.
DATE/TIME WINDOW: Tuesday, November 2. Active window varies but a typical range is about noon to midnight.
TIPPING: Yes, please! Donors get added to my "Donors" filter for two months, which has perk-posts about poetry and related topics. You can sponsor an individual poem for publication on my blog, co-sponsor a long poem with the help of other donors, or donate some amount toward general funds (for which there is usually a poll later to select funded poetry). One poem always gets posted free for everyone to read, plus whatever gets sponsored. If there's at least one new prompter or donor, I post a second freebie -- this could be you! It doesn't cost anything to leave a prompt, and sometimes people sponsor poems they didn't prompt.
EXAMPLES: Visit the Poetry Fishbowl Landing Page and scroll down for links to pictures of scrapbooked poems or the list of previous months' fishbowl reports (which include links to all the posted poems from that month). The " poem" tag on my blog leads to my posted poems, mostly but not all fishbowl poems; and the " fishbowl" tag shows all the poems, announcements, fishbowl-open posts, reports, etc. from the poetry fishbowls.
