ORIGINAL POST 1/8/12:

Instead of a readalong or a reading challenge, this is a blog-along, with one goal: blog about poetry once a month. It is a laid-back way to get the book blogging community posting about poetry.

I post regularly.

I post things I love.

I post things that amuse or intrigue me.

I post things that force me to think.

I post things that I think might help others in some way.

I have, however, purposely kept my own commentary to a minimum, sinceI have had little time to put together what I consider to be thoughtful, insightful, and enlightening blog posts. But I would like to do more.

I'm hoping that this challenge will help by giving me a manageable goal. Well, I guess I'll find out soon enough.

1). Sign up link on regular rumination. (Some poetry suggestions if you need a push.)
2). Post about poetry on your blog on the following dates:

January 31th / February 28th / March 27th / April 24th / May 28 - 31 / June 25 - 29
