Poetry Fishbowl Report for March 4, 2014

This month's theme was "dragons."  I worked from 1 PM to 2:30 AM, so about 12 hours 30 minutes accounting for breaks.  I wrote 16 poems on Tuesday and another 7 later.  They ran shorter this time, although all lengths were represented, and all free verse. 

Participation was enthusiastic.  There were 49 comments on LiveJournal and another 22 on Dreamwidth.  No new prompters this month, though.


Read Some Poetry!
The following poems from the March 4, 2014 Poetry Fishbowl have been posted:
"Clockwyrms"
"The Dragon Nebula"
"Dragon Whiskers"
"Here There Be..."
"The Island Dragons"
"Saving the Maidens"
"The Scales of Justice"
"Sharing Features"
"The Treasure of Her Keeping"

Buy some poetry!
If you plan to sponsor some poetry but haven't made up your mind yet, read the unsold poetry list from March 4. That includes the title, length, price, and the original thumbnail description for the poems still available.  There are still several verses of "Lawless, Winged, and Unconfined" remaining, which you can reveal by linking to the unsold poetry list or a favorite poem from the March fishbowl.

Currently sponsored poems have all been posted.  Backchannel copies of the rest have been sent to their respective prompters.  Per the $200 goal, "Gifts from the Spirit Wind" is the free epic.  Per the $250 goal, there will be a bonus fishbowl featuring Polychrome Heroics on Tuesday, March 18.

Donors this month include DW user Redsixwing, itew, janetmiles, laffingkat, Anthony & Shirley Barrette.  There were no new donors.  The donor perk is "Dragons," posted here on LJ now that the friends group function is working again.


The Poetry Fishbowl project also has a permanent landing page.
