Thank you Everyone!

I'm happy to announce we've finished all of the reviews for the May 2014 Poetry Exchange with flying colors!

Statistically speaking we had a very clear VIP for this exchange and I'd like to give her a round of applause, or at least a bit of recognition at the end of this forum.

She started out strong being the first person to get all three of her reviews done, bar none. [She even got them done before I did!] Her reviews have all served as a good clean explanation of what a review should be like, and how to help critique poems no matter how difficult or easy. Through the process she's been available and helpful for feedback, and when others were overwhelmed with life, sickness, school, and other such disasters, she stepped up to the plate to take nearly half of the reviews that needed to be finished to round out our review day with a nice complete set!

If you're not sure who I'm talking about yet, then check out her poems, and see who she is.

The Astronaut
Love Poem No. 1

If you have more than a minute, please help me thank her by dropping a comment or review for her poems, or hey, if you like it, hit the button.

Spoiler! :
It's @MAGPIE!


Again, thanks to everyone who participated. If you had fun, want to chat, or want to gossip about one of the poems you received to review, go ahead and use this forum for the conversations. I'm sure some of you have some Horror Stories to tell about that creepy guy who thinks His Tears Cost 1M$ or something. I mean, They Call Me a Writer but I just have a Fish-hooks in The Astronaut who went to goose country this time last year. I hope my Innocence doesn't sound like A Songbird's Signal with a bit of a Hiaku-like poem on the side. This message is To a Fellow Lady Knight so I hope you understand it's A work in progress still. You may think you will not win tonight but we already have won! We did it!

If you liked this exchange and want to see more, or you have an idea for an exchange of your own, don't forget to check out the resources department where you can find How to Run a Poetry Exchange for yourself <3

Did I miss anyone?

To this, the Wolf answered, Lo!

Magpie's reviews were so on point, and so was her poetry! I tried to review The Astronaut for days, and couldn't find anything to point out! :O

Apparently there is something going on with the tags, so I'm just going to poke you all one last time to make sure you all get poked.

@Audy @megsug @niteowl @PiesAreSquared @Dreamy @magpie @HighTop @CesareBorgia @Hecate @WritingWolf @fortis @Rurouni

If you have not been getting poked I'm sorry about that.
