It's that time again. Six months have passed since last we queued up to host the Poetry Friday roundups.
If you'd like to host a roundup between June and December 2017, leave your choice(s) of date(s) in the comments. I'll update regularly to make it easier to see which dates have been claimed.
What is the Poetry Friday roundup? A gathering of links to posts featuring original or shared poems, or reviews of poetry books. A carnival of poetry posts. Here is an explanation that Rene LaTulippe shared on her blog, No Water River, and here is an article Susan Thomsen wrote for the Poetry Foundation.
Who can do the Poetry Friday roundup? Anyone who is willing to gather the links in some way, shape or form (Mr. Linky, "old school" in the comments-->annotated in the post, or ???) on the Friday of your choice. If you are new to the Poetry Friday community, jump right in, but perhaps choose a date later on so that we can spend some time getting to know each other.
How do you do a Poetry Friday roundup? If you're not sure, stick around for a couple of weeks and watch...and learn! One thing we're finding out is that folks who schedule their posts, or who live in a different time zone than you, appreciate it when the roundup post goes live sometime on Thursday.
How do I get the code for the PF Roundup Schedule for the sidebar of my blog? You can grab the list from the sidebar here at A Year of Reading, or I'd be happy to send it to you if you leave me your email address. You can always find the schedule on the Kidlitosphere Central webpage.
Why would I do a Poetry Friday Roundup? Community, community, community. It's like hosting a poetry party on your blog!

Thank you for always being here to round us up. If September 22 is still open, I'd love it. Thank you so much. xxxx
ReplyDeleteHi Mary Lee, Thank you, as always, for organizing. I would love to take Sept 22!
ReplyDeleteThanks for organizing us. I'd like to take August 11th. It's my birthday, so I won't forget!
ReplyDeleteHi Mary Lee. Thanks for organising this. I'm hoping I can get that linky thing working. (A new thing for me to try between now & when...) I'll say 1st September for me, please.
ReplyDeleteI'd love to host again! I would like July 21 or 28th, please. Thanks!
ReplyDelete- Katie @ The Logonauts
I'll take October 27 and be spooky. :-)
ReplyDeleteHi Mary Lee - put me down for Oct. 13, please! xo
ReplyDeleteThanks, Mary Lee! May I have September 15th, please? (Or the 8th would be okay too.)
ReplyDeleteHi Mary Lee, thank you for planning! I'd love Nov. 3rd, please!
ReplyDeleteMary Lee, I will open up the summer calendar with July 7th if that is available. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteSep 29?
ReplyDeleteIn addition to Sep 29, I can take Dec 1 or 8 if you end up short of hosts. Cheers!
ReplyDeleteHi ML! I can take July 14 or Sept 8.
ReplyDeleteThanks!!
November 10? Thanks for organizing this!
ReplyDeleteHey, Cousin, if you need someone to fill in, just stick me in wherever.
ReplyDeleteI can host on December 22nd--thanks for organizing again, Mary Lee!
ReplyDeleteI'd love to be a first-time host! I could take one of those November or December spots?
ReplyDeleteAugust 25 for me, please.
ReplyDeleteThank you for organizing! I'll take August 18.
ReplyDeleteI'm a newbie, so not ready to host just yet, but am thrilled PF continues through the summer! -- Christie @ https://wonderingandwondering.wordpress.com/blog/
ReplyDeleteWe're glad you've joined us! The next chance to sign up to host is December for the January-June schedule, so if you want one of those December slots, give a shout!
DeletePF is forever! Woo-hoo!
DeleteI'd love to host July 28th!
ReplyDeleteI'll take December 1.
ReplyDeleteIs September 8 still open? I will take that or any other date available!
ReplyDeleteWait! Make August 4 my first choice, Sept. 8 second choice, any other my third choice! LOL!
DeleteMary Lee, I would be a first timer to host but would be willing to take either Oct. 20th or Dec. 8th if they are still available.
ReplyDeleteI'll do November 24th. Or another date if you need me.
ReplyDeleteI can give it another go for December 8th. We made it work on Tumblr before. Let me know if that won't work/or you'd rather not use Tumblr for hosting the poetry round up (I understand)--> otherwise, I will assume it's OK : ) Thanks, Mary Lee!
ReplyDeleteHi Mary Lee, I'd love to take Sept. 8, if it's still available!
ReplyDeleteIf no one else wants it, you can put me in for December 15. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteAw, dang--I knew it was time and I looked for this last week--too EARLY if you can believe it. I think all that's left if December 29, which works okay for me, I guess!
ReplyDeleteAnd thank you, Mary Lee, for so dependably rounding up the roundup every six months! You are greatly appreciated.
ReplyDeleteI see October 6th is still open. If it is, I'd be delighted to claim it.
ReplyDeleteTHE ROUNDUP IS COMPLETE!!
