Dear Unregistered,
Pardon this intrusion into your Eratosphere reading, writing, commentaries, and, ahem, all the other delights the Sphere is able to offer. But to keep it simple indeed, Eratosphere needs your help/sponsorship!
Ordinarily--and actually never before until now--I wouldn't post this personal notice to members outside the threads confines simply because there was more or less some measure of the much-needed assistance from usually a couple of handfuls--out of the hundreds active of the thousands registered--of very helpful members. But it seems things have fairly dried up--or rather, only a dribble remains--in terms of such help, even with the seasonal reminders where we bump the sponsorship threads, with as much restraint as possible, a couple of times or so throughout the year. I could go further, but I'd rather simply point you to the relevant assistance threads to read more or to interact with:
Thank you!
...Alex
It's been a while, Unregistered -- Welcome back to Eratosphere! |

Of course we made nonsense, just like the children did, but there is much to be gained by allowing ourselves the privilege of play. I rejoiced in revisiting all that juice and all that joy; I shall be sad to wash off the grease.

Children don't write the best poems, but no poet without the soul of a child still somewhere in them writes good poems.

It's Mad Libs for metrical poetry. It's a game.
Now, if you want a real challenge, "find" poetry in it and post it over on Twisted thread.

I took mine off the "twisted" thread and dropped it in The Deep End. It was treated seriously, workshopped honestly and is now a better poem.
