cafeRg's ~ Splash Poetry Picture Challenge

A new addition to Splash is Rollin Thunder, Poetry Commentry, Insights and Selected Poems ..it's what is called a "blog" .."blogs" are sophisticated journals or diaries ..they are a web (blog0sphere) within a web (internet) ..they are more personal (taking on the personality of its owner(s), usually, than a webpage ..allowing for commenting from visiting poets ..you can find a detailed explanationat Wikipedia:weBLOGS

Also at Rollin Thunder you will find lots of links to other blogs ..Writers Digest said "blogs" was a great way for writers to get published, while waiting for that BIG publishing deal. Check out Rollin Thunder Today. We are looking for Contributing Editors and our looking for articles from poets. Just email me back if your interested.

ConGrats !! also goes to Witt our Poetry Directory who is Poet in the Spotlight and SplashHost for the Month ~ July 2004. I'm telling ya, can she ever swing that AX. She'll make a Great Poet out of the best.

In addition to daily poetry readings and socializing at the Poets Cafe, we have added for a more sensuous setting the Poets Cafe Erotica. We have a special erotic poetry reading Saturday Night at 10:00 PM EST in Halsoft VP Chat on the adult side. You can come in as a guest for FREE, ( chat.vpchat.com and chat.vpadult.com in your old 163 VP Chat Client ).

Have you read Rus Bowden's Poetry and Poets in Rags .. here's an excerpt, "..This is cool. How about for our back page this week, a poet laureate in a donut shop in a small town away from the east coast ..with two on the decline of reading in America. Of the middle six then, much good stuff, including love poetry. How about erotic haiku? How about Yiddish love poetry? How about a poem from "100 air miles southwest of Kenai" or written in Iraq onto emptied-out cigarette wrappers?" It's very cool stuff, check it out.
