Apologies
I have neglected and abandoned this site for the last six months. Basically I became consumed with writing fiction and did not focus on poetry at all during this time. Each time I thought about updating here it just seemed overwhelming and not fun.
I did enjoy this site for years and I did enjoy the poets I met. I really did owe our members more than disappearing without a trace.
For new poets who have tried to join recently I have not added any to our list because I have not been to blogger in months. It took me quite a while to remember my password to log in today.
What prompted me posting here?
Finding this blog:
www.poetswhoblog.com
Someone has taken our name and made a new site. At first I was kinda upset but PWB is certianly not trademarked and since I have disappeared from the poetry community its not like I have a lot of room to be offended.
I've chosen to look at it in the way that possibly whoever started that blog enjoyed this one and decided to expand on it. Its also possible the name is a coincidence.
I've decided to start updating this blog again but go slow. There will be no poetry projects or big events here anytime soon. Maybe next year if the site gets going again.
I really can't promise much because I don't want to become overwhelmed again or make promises I can't keep.
So to whoever is still around PWB is back. Thanks for stopping by our site. Today will be a fresh start for us. I realize I left everyone hanging and its possible no one will want to read this site anymore.
I don't want to post out of obligation, which is how I felt before, but because it is enjoyable. So if you still want this site to go on, let me know.
I tried to log into my poetswhoblog email address and found out it was deactivacted at yahoo dot com because I had not been there in four months. So whatever anyone sent me I'm sorry but its gone.
I know I had a responsibilty to this site and I've been slacking off but then again this is just a hobby, not a job, and I don't get paid for it. I'll try to get into posting here again, see if its fun, and see if I can find enjoyment in this hobby again.
Whatever happens I really did love PWB for a long time. It was a fun ride. Thanks for taking it with me. I hope the members here have enjoyed the site.

Punctuation?
I stumbled upon this poetry site where members review each other's work. Its called Mosiac Musings.
The poem I read had a discussion following it about punctuation and spacing in poetry. This is subject I often thought of when I was writing my own poems. I would use various methods (including italicizing, punctuation, lines breaks,etc) to try and get the reader to hear the poem in their head they way I intended it.
What do you do? How does you typography affect your poetry? Is it even a consideration for you?

Of course you retain all the rights to your work. The rules are few and simple, but will be adhered to: No foul language—good poetry doesn't need it. Keep it under 200 words; we don't want a novel. More thatn 200 words will be deleted. Enter no more than 2 poems per day, or you will be deleted from the board. FINA-LISTS ONLY—must submit, with each entry, your full name, your e-mail address, and name of poem only to: Poetry Webmaster. We do not accept anonymous entries. Your submission means you acknowledge the work submitted is your own, and, you understand that you have given us the right to publish your poem on our web site.

PWB Business Post- June 2009
I've been consumed with a fiction project so I haven't had time to update this site. I'm really behind on reading e-mails for PWB too. I'm sorry if I haven't returned your correspondence. I do want this site to come back from its haitus though.
Thank you for your continued interest.
