Poetry Fishbowl Report for September 18, 2012

The theme of the mid-month fishbowl was "Monster House."  I worked from 12:30 PM to 3 AM, so about 12 hours 30 minutes allowing for lunch and supper breaks.  There was a slow trickle of prompts through much of the day.  I wrote 16 poems, most from single prompts but a few mixed.  Almost all the poems were free-verse.

A total of 13 people sent prompts, which is low, but actually one higher than the main fishbowl this month.  Please welcome new prompter DW user jb_slasher, whom you can thank for the second freebie poem.  There were 37 comments on LJ and 6 on DW, not much crosstalk.

The following poems from the September 2012 Poetry Fishbowl have been posted:
"Couched"
"Dissonance and Consonance"
"Education Is a Matter of Perspective"

"Muddled Up"
"Patching Up"

The mid-month fishbowl has SOLD OUT.  This is the first time that has happened.  Donors for this session include: zianuray, janetmiles, Anthony & Shirley Barrette.  The linkback perk poem "Alone in the Bee-Loud Glade" (Hart's Farm) is complete.  Thank you all for your support and enthusiasm.
