If you think you submitted but don't see your poem, send me an email at IlovetowriteSMP@yahoo.com

I'll do a special post with your poem.

Things have been crazy for me, trying to juggle life, this carnival, the National Poetry Month Project, my fiction writing, etc. Well, I'm sure everyone has just as much going on. If I missed adding a link, I'm sorry. Let me know.

Happy Easter to everyone who celebrates!

Your Blog Manager,

Sara

I wanted to let you know Read Write Poem will be doing a few things to support those participating in NaPoWriMo.

An into-post will be written by January at Poet Mom and posted next Tuesday, a week in advance of 4/1.

Thanks for all you do to support the poets. Your site is terrific.
