Hey all,

This will be my eighth May Day. And after eight years of shouting for help ("M'aidez!"), I decided to whisper a bit and leave the halloo-ing to Joanne.

Though I haven't been horribly productive the last few years, I happen to be writing a fair bit these days and so am looking forward to sharing poems. Probably not one a day, mind you...but a few a week is possible.

So, to sum: I'm glad to be back and I'm glad not to be in charge.

Welcome back to May Day

It's good to see some of you back again this year. I was happy to take on the coordination of the site, since I've come to rely on it as a spring ritual and a yearly discipline. I am going to try to average three or four poems per week, as I want to build up some additional material for a manuscript.

Another May, Another Day

I am working on a thesis, but since it's in poetry, we'll see what can be done! Looking forward to MayDay2012, amidst the chaos. ~ Andie

May Day no.5

With a lifestyle sans murs or rituals (there's only so much to be said for freedom!), I have come to greatly anticipate my rite of passage 

into Spring, here at the May Day Poetry Project. And thanks  to

Polly and Ariel and Ms Epp, I am very pleased 

to be back for my fifth season!  

Let the M'aidez Games begin °`'•.❤

Why, hello there 2012!

This will be my second year doing May Day. Last year I was crazy busy with life stuff and didn't get to post or comment as much as I would have liked. This year, I'm hoping to post 3-5 times a week. I'm still busy with life stuff, but on a different scale. I do hope to drop in and offer feedback every so often, but I know that it will be minimal. As I won't be able to comment on everyone's work, I don't expect others to comment on mine. I'm looking forward to this. Thanks to Ariel for starting this great beast of an idea and to Joanna for picking up the gauntlet as organizer this year.
