Hello, How are you this evening?
I decide to make Thursdays The Poets’ Rally. The mission is to spend the whole day promoting and celebrating poetry.
Poets are unique creatures, we think and write, only in poetic and
musical or emotional form…We use the most powerful WORDS to express the most beautiful feelings, either it is sad, happy, or loving.
I have a list attached below, in this first week, I suggest that
#1: check to see if you are on the list or not, if you are a poet and not on the list, comment here and let me know, I will add your on.
#2: Post a poem in your own blog on Thursdays.
#3: Go ahead and visit the blogs on the list, please make sure to make a minimum 12 positive comments on 12 different blogs where you have never commented before.
#4: Very important, please make sure to comment back when you are given comments.
#5: After you post a poem, commented a minimum 12 blogs, let me know and you will remain on the list the following week as active poets.
You must post a poem on Thursday in your own blog, and have a minimum 12 visits to 12 new blogs done by next Thursday.
Isn’t it wonderful we poets stick together and pat each other on our shoulders and appreciate each others’ work?
Let’s go ahead and enjoy a feast of comments on our poems.
————————————————————————————————————–
If I like you,
You may like me,
Why Don’t we form a poet family?
With a polite greeting from me
To you,
Won’t you agree
To say hello to me too?
————————————————————————————————–
LURK NO MORE! PLEASE COMMENT AND LET ME KNOW YOU ARE HERE. Let me know if you like my blog, also let me know if you have hints or suggestions on my posts…Thank YOU!ย ๐

I love poetry,
Yes I do.
So what should I write
Just for you.
I’m not too good
At the drop of a hat
Or I certainly would
Take part in that!
๐
Dear Carletta:
Thank you
for the cute
smiling
shining
joy
in supporting
this. ๐
Have FUN.
Oh, Jingle, I have already done a post that I’m going to automatically post at 6 am to honor my sis and my mom on the 14th (my mom would have been 79 on this day.)
I’m really not a good poet anyway, especially compared to you!
Continued success with your blog! You are a very sweet, smart person with a very sensitive heart . Glad I know you!!
Hello,
Great job.
Welcome to poets’ rally. ๐
see you soon.
Oh no!! poetry & me …….. no relation at all ๐ฆ But seem to be a lovely poet.
Do you want to try one?
Find a poem you like,
Change things around,
then it is yours,
that’s how you get started…
Let me know if you want to participate. Thank you. ๐
Best of luck for ur poets rally.
Thank you, Collin!
you Are An Awesome Individual! ๐
Wow….very creative idea for forming Poets Rally……good job.
Thank you so much. ๐
Vive La Resistance! No, really what a charming idea! ๐
Thank you for including me in the list even though I am quite new!

Good morning, Bath:
glad you love the idea, wishing you a productive and
FUN day. ๐
Oh and I’ve blogrolled everyone on my blog! ๐
Cool,
You are cute poet. ๐
http://www.cottagegirlblog.com/
That’s a great idea..
Thanks for the creativity, Jingle ๐
Than you ๐
I enjoy your post very much.
keep popping up and shining through.
I’ve never been good at Poems
they never rhyme and suck.
But that never stopped me from trying
and so I keep on rhyming.
๐
What a surprise,
i will add you to the list and paint you orange. ๐
It is my greatest joy to have you here, in my mind and heart, you are amazing artist, you rock!
post a poem, no matter how you fell, people will encourage you along the way..
I like your characters, Nicole! ๐
Thanks ๐
You are welcome. ๐
hey thanks for the shout out!
๐
great idea!
Hi, Jessie:
Nice to see you here.
I changed you to orange, hope that you enjoy doing it, you have 7 days to finish 12 visits.
Thank you for the response. ๐
Just to clarify…we post a poem on our own blog? And do we have a few days to get in all the visiting? If yes to both questions, count me in! Great idea!
Dear Jamie:
Yes, post a poem on your own blog every Thursday, and you will have 7 days to meet the minimum requirement of 12 visits to 12 brand new blogs.
I prefer to do it within one day,…you are busy, thus you can take your time.
I painted your orange. ๐
Have FUN.
jingle

Hi, Rania
No problem, I will include all the links for 4 weeks, if they stay inactive for more than 4 weeks, I will drop their links and add fresh ones while keep active ones in the meantime.
I do enjoy myself, thank you for letting me know. ๐
Jingle

Welcome join in. ๐
Thank you for letting me know.

Great job! Keep on keeping on ๐
Hi,
With support from you and many other fellow poets, I will keep it going as long as possible.
Excited about your visit here. :).
timidly, i request
urgently, i beg
permission, dear one
to be included
in this great scheme
this grand design
poetic reflections
melding of foreign minds
my heart spews forth nothing
nothing
nothing but verse
do you not believe?
go yourself and see-
Dear Sparrowsong;
I could not find your link,
to be included in this poets’ rally, you need to enter your link …
I love your entry…. ๐
http://sparrowsong.wordpress.com
thanks.
Hi Jingle,
I will do as you said but I am no poet, darling?
I will post a poem by Thursday and visit minimum 12 new blogs on YOUR BLOG LIST OR MINE? do we list the blogs we visit darling?
please get back to me?
hugs,
shakira
Hi,
Sorry for the misunderstanding.
If you are not a poet, you can join in by posting a poem of your choice on your own blog on Thursdays.
I suggest that you visit and comment on poetry blogs listed in MY blog.
No, you do not need to give me the list you visited.
simply let me know…I can see your comments when I visit those blogs in my list.
You don’t have to do it if you have NO time or WILLINGNESS
to do it.
I am happy if you wanted to participate.
after you have visited 12 blogs by Thursday this week, drop me a not here.
thanks.
Hi Jingle,
As you know I am not a poet,
but for YOU, I have done one,
please visit

I am very busy on THURSDAYS as Jasmine’s music classes are on these days but I would like to try,
if you allow me,
to join in the Thursday Poet’s Rally.
Will be doing my blog visits now…

Hi Jingle!
Most of my blogging is poetry or about poetry. I’d love to participate in your Thursday fun.
Hello,
Yes, you are welcome to participate,
I will add you to week 1 participant,
and after you commented on 12 blogs, comment on my week 2 post, then I will add you as week 2 participant as well…
Yippee, Jingle is excited about your partnership. ๐ ๐
see you later.
cheers.
Good to see all the participants who started this rally from the first week.
Great to see the ones that are still here…I remember joining in the 11th week. Still a distance from now though. It is a beautiful community and I am loving it.
many thanks, Ibok!
