Simply Snickers Thanks Participants and Readers

Simply Snickers Thanks Participants and Readers 

After nearly three years (and more than 100 weekly poetry prompt posts), Simply Snickers is discontinuing weekly blogging.

Thanks to the many subscribers, participants and readers. We have had fun together, crafting poems to accompany keyword prompts and classic works of fine art.

As much as I have enjoyed putting up weekly poetry prompts, I find I must focus on a few key assignments that are becoming pressing, productive and profitable uses of my writing time.

Please feel free to select and post to any past prompts - as Simply Snickers will remain open indefinitely. Grab any prompts you like from the archive or choices at the bottom of this (or any) post here. Refresh the page for additional options.

Blessings all around,
Linda
