Sadly, no. I'm forbidden to talk about it.

Love the theme! Not sure if I'll be able to participate this year, though.

We had twelve poems featured for this year's poetry anthology. What a perfect way to celebrate National Poetry Writing Month! A huge thank you to all who participated by writing poems, reading, reacting, commenting, and reviewing. Participation is what keeps these events going every year, and I know myself, for one, look forward to the anthologies all year. I couldn't coordinate the anthologies without help, so I'd like to give a shout-out to the people who make things happen behind the scenes: 2026 Poetry Anthology Support Team Anthology Coordinator Valkyrie Tech Support Myr Anthology Banner Creation Cia If you haven't yet, be sure to check out the anthology poems linked below.

Dang... it's been over $4 a gallon here for a while. $4.15 last time I looked. It's my life-long dream to make it to the Masters one day. Sadly, it's not feasible this year, but hopefully within the following couple of years. And you damn well know I'll be knocking on your door 😁

Thanks for bringing that to my attention. I changed it to "complete" so you should be able to leave a review now.

The old gods didn’t disappear, they’re still observing, occasionally shaking their antlers, and stamping a hoof, snorting displeasure at the state of the world. Or raining down their sorrow, filling flood plains with remorse. The observant may catch a fleeting glimpse in a hedgerow or on a moor. Breezy breath whispering words not understood. Ephemeral fingers brushing quivering skin, speaking to their descendants on a cellular level, hoping they’

It's time for the second, and last, batch of poems for the 2026 Poetry Anthology to be revealed! If you haven't done so yet, please check out last week's offerings. Based on the feedback, they're well worth reading! Show our poets your support by leaving a reaction, comment, or review.

The old gods choose who they reveal themselves to, who then have the choice whether or not to believe the encounter.

They'd be the first to join the parsec high club

It's time to celebrate National Poetry Writing Month by releasing the first set of poems for the GA annual Poetry Anthology - Choices! It's always interesting to read the different takes on the anthology theme, and this year is no exception. Please show support for our site poets and anthology participants by reacting, commenting, or reviewing their poetry. Stay tuned next week for even more poems!

I was going to Rick Roll everyone, but that's too obvious of an earworm, so instead I will torture you with this Muppet masterpiece

Congratulations! Well-deserved!

Haha I must be tired too, because I read the same thing...

I am death to plants. I killed a cactus in a matter of two months. A CACTUS. I was told it was impossible to kill those things... I am better with outdoor plants, although it's been a long time since I've planted flowers. I used to plant herbs on my porch at my old apartment, but never managed to when I bought my house. Maybe I'll try again one of these days.

Since @Headstall and @Marvin B both commented on this, I will take a look at the guidelines and revise them. I think the same wording is in the annual anthology as well. It's outdated since the site was updated since that part was written. Thanks for pointing it out!

There's a little over a week to get submissions for the poetry anthology posted to the anthology forum. So there's still time to choose to participate and share your poetry with GA.

Snowballs can be very effective, especially if you coat them in ice...

I'm basking in 55 degree F, sunny glory @Myr @Krista and myself totally did not conspire to bombard you with snowballs

I'm sure you saw, but the deadline is extended to April 6th

Would you like a regular temperature year round or do you like your seasons? I like the change in seasons, although I do prefer cooler temps. Summer is hell as I overheat by simply existing. Do you wear sunscreen regularly? If I'm out in the sun for any length of time it's a necessity. I react to the sun like a vampire does. Did you watch any TV or Movies yesterday? I've been binge-watching BBC murder dramas lately. I'm currently watching "Wire in the Blood". Do you own any old paperbacks or hard cover books still? Once I own a book, it's here for life. I have a LOT of books. Do you ever read them or are you a digital kind of person now? Sadly, I haven't been doing a ton of reading lately, but when I do it's both. What is the last book as on paper, did you read? A book on Stone Circles that I bought when I visited England.

I have good news if you're on the fence or thinking you don't have enough time to get something written for our annual poetry anthology! I've extended the deadline to April 6th, so you have an extra week to submit your poetry for inclusion in the anthology So, if you haven't started yet, there's still time.
