Sunday Picnic

Sunday, every Sunday, let's have a community picnic. It's probably been a long week, and it's lovely to have a few minutes to sit back and relax and enjoy some good conversation in a less formal space. Feel free to bring something for the Picnic Basket - a poem you liked this week, a thought you had or something you experienced, or even something completely unrelated to poetry whatsoever that you just feel like sharing. Just take a moment to say hello, and maybe have a bite to eat; no one is going anywhere fast, and the shade promises some relief from the everyday heat. Let’s get to know each other a bit better, here under the branches of the poet’s tree.

Feedback For DIY Serial Poetry Week Continuation

[poetree_admin]

If you have general feedback for ysabetwordsmith and/or the admins on how this past week went, please leave it here by responding to this thread. We're always interested in figuring out what particular themes, formats, contents, etc. work well for people, and which need more tweaking to work better.
