WOW.. that is a very good thing… CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL NOMINATED.
Ji, I am going to post a few posts for the Rally for my own entries…. I will post a link below my post , linking back to you, ok?
I love you!
hugs
shakira
Good luck.
Jingle will have NO control over this game, you rally your followers to vote for you,
Good Luck!
Jingle, I reread the nominations.. I do not see my name there meaning that I do not have to rally for myself but for others.. correct? I am not mad at all as you are one of the wisest person I know. I love you! hugs,shakira… I need to go to the hospital for Jasmine’s tests.
oops,
it is in now!
Awww… Now I am blushing.. I am so honored!
another fabulous idea from the world of Jingle, thanks dear, will send my nomination in soon, great work, great happiness xx
Welcome, William!
Vote once, only if you are ready,
have fun!
😉
What a beautiful fun, idea!
Went back are re-read the rules.
I nominate Waystation One.
Yes, Ronda…
Please feel free to ask your followers to vote to support your favorite poet or poets…
it is for fun,
no shame,
😉
Congrats to all the nominees 🙂
hmm… i shall of course send in my nominations as soon as im ready… 🙂 what a brilliant idea, jingle… *wink*
What another wonderful and sweet thing you are doing. I wish to nominate poettraveler.
Thanks Jingle ; it sounds a good idea.but can I nominate more than one poet?
wordwand:
you can nominate a maximum 15 poets.
let me know if you still have questions.
😉
Jingle, I am not sure how to do this, but I would like to nominate Billy who all of you call William.
You all get an A++++ in my book! Have fun! 🙂
wow. cool idea. will get back to you with my nomination…so many good ones to choose from!
nice idea jingle! however, what about new poets like me with no followers yet?how will I rally anybody or get anyone to notice me? 😉
nope, just kidding 🙂 .will nominate soon..
http://www.assorted-platter.blogspot.com
If you stay active, you may win next month,…
Good Luck!
hi dear xxxx do we do this in private? or just post here?? it is always best to nominate in private so u get the right vote in, I know its for fun but please let me know how we vote xxx
Simply vote in public,
William,
no problem,
I hold no biases against anyone…
Thank you, Ji 🙂
Been a bit preoccupied this past few weeks with personal issues.
Plan on participating more in days to come 🙂
Very hard to nominate one poet so many to choose from!
I’m thinking:-)
Have a great week!
Gerardine
you can nominate up to 15 poets,
I did not state it nicely i guess.
I’d like to nominate 2 poets:
Brian http://www.waystationone.com/
&
BFG http://expressionaday.wordpress.com/
Lovely award, Jingle : )
Thank You,
😉
I’d like to nominate Jingle, Ishabelle, and slpmartin.wordpress.com.
Great idea for bringin’ us all two-gether!
you are so very kind,
thank you.
😉
I also would like to nominate Gerardine, Jingle, Brian, Dustus, Shakira. I don’t know how to get their links could someone help me? Please with ice cream on top.
Viola:
no need to worry, I have these links included, thus you are done.
thank you for the kind nomination.
😉
I Nominate, Doubtful poet, for being a great rhymer just like me. Thank you jingle for creating a way for Beth and I to meet truly grateful. Is there going to me another rally this Week? of so count me in.
How To Vote for nominators ?? thanks a lot for selecting my blog 🙂
Ehem! certainly being nice to lots of people has its advantage.. no offence meant but i could imagine this is all done in good fun perhaps jingle? cos voting for friends or even going around garnering for votes certainly do not make one the best poet.. anyway my vote goes to these few whom i thought is very committed to writing excellent poetry- and the winners are (drumroll)- jingle, shakira, wordwand, kseverny, ishabelle and trisha!
Hi fiveloaf,
sorry to butt in like this..
but i guess we all know that picking out the best poet is quite an impossibility since poetic styles, motifs are all different..at best, I guess this is a good initiative to encourage people to write better poetry, don’t u think?
just my two cents on this, no offence intended..n hope no offence taken too!
fiveloaf:
so far, I did not email or comment to ask poets to vote for me, will not do…
I did not see anyone else doing it, in this world, nothing is perfect, noble prize winner, do you agree?
Voting for president of the U. S. A., everyone agrees?
I only need 50% of poets supporting this idea..so far, I assume that I have 80% or above poets supporting it…
Writing perfect poems is not enough, mingling with a positive and encouraging community is important…You are valued and welcome back any time…
Best wishes.
Thank you for the nominations.
I’m nominating Rahim -wordwand,good luck Rahim.
😀
Dear Jingle how are you,fine I hope.Just a little fun there that’s how I use to start all of my letters 😀 😀 So we can nominate 15 poets good

ps– did anyone post my Jingle Limerick Award yet? How fun that it could move to other sites!
Sorry for the double post– I’m in Rio an the rains have knocked everything including the internet out of wack.
I would like to nominate:
Waystation one
Dustus
Jingle
Art is My Religion
Jamie
BFG
who have consistently been my favorite poets to read since I came to the rally in week 11.
I’m not eligible for the March award– since I was only on 2 March rallies, but I do invite y’all to visit my site and get to know my poems. I have posted a poem a week for 77 weeks, mostly sonnets but also other forms like decima, rondeau, and villanelle, and I post a photo and thought every day. And I’ll be around for the rally for awhile to come.

Great opinions on your website. It is atypical in this day and age to come across sites with relevant information you are interested in. I’m ecstatic I happened upon your website.
