Yes to all questions above. Thanks for hosting again! I'm sharing a short poem, a bit different from my usual entries, but completely appropriate for the weather where I live today. Enjoy!
Beachy Winter
Yes to all... and good to see you all... :-)
Yes to all Ji and Vinay.. I am now reading Rally posts..
Someone is Special
Yes to all :) Excited for this week's rally :)
Yes, I agree to all requirements.
Why is it that my name always has a red "X" next to it when I link my name in??? No one ever explains this to me... Just wondering.
@bodhirose Same here, mine too.. I guess it is for us, just in case, we want to delete ours, you know, like the wrong link is up or something and it is only for the one who add that link to right the error.. but that's my guess... Not too sure though.. :)
we all have a x to the name,
technical sign that you linked your entry in yourself, not by others.
no worrying...
have fun.
yes to all :)
@Jingle Oh, finally, I know what that meant.. I was wrong in some ways.. All done, more than 18.. I am finally getting sleepy.. Will return for more tomorrow, hmm, I meant, today since it is past midnight now.. Good night and good noon over at your side, I supposed.. :)
Ji and Vinay, just read 18 poems, the min is done but will come back for more, I loved to nominate bodhirose, Vinay, Rhyme me a Smile, Blaga, Olivia, Krislin and of course Ji's poem for the honors..
Someone is Special
Yes to all of the questions as usual. Happy Rally!
agreed to all,
happy Rally :)
Yes, I agree...and this is a challenge to my long hiatus!
Yes to all. 18 or more.
Oh, I never see an "X" next to anyone's name but mine--but thanks for explaining this Jingle. I won't worry/wonder about it anymore.
;)
Woohoo!!! great to be back. Thanks for still remembering me Ji. Posted my link. Will start reading and comenting later today.

My submission: http://notatameblog.wordpress.com/2009/06/30/my-blood-hammers-out-your-name/
What does it mean to nominate..i mean is it necessary to write down the names of the people whose poems i have visited as part of the rally?
Alcina,
You can nominate poems you especially liked this week. You don't have to write down all the blogs you visited.
Alcina,
no obligations, do it only if you want to. only if you strongly loved poets among the collections.
cheers.
Vinay,
Didn't i fulfill the criteria ? (Done) is not coming against my name. Can you tell me what I missed out ?
yes to all.. oops! i am late haha! here's mine.. http://fiveloaf.wordpress.com/2010/01/15/wedged/
perwinkler,
marked you done as done,
Thanks for the patience...
at times, you do need to remind us in case we forgot/overlooked.
Thank you Anonymous! Can I know who you are ? Vinay ? Uma ? Jamie ? Jingle ? Kavita ? Blaga ? Leo ? Riika ? Aleza ? or Olivia ? :)
It is Jingle here,
She is one of the major host here.
Smiles.
Thank you Jingle :) Can I know more about the Perfect Poet award ? How is it awarded ?
Thanks for the sub & all the work u do. I read yr rules, and while I have sub'd back, I can't be an active participant as I do not personally have the same "keep it positive" bent you do. I'D RATHER U TALK S#!T
THAN HEAR SOME SYCOPHANT SUC! I'll definitely check out the awards and best-of's u produce. Thanks.
This is like Bizarro World, today.
No sycophants, here. Just people who encourage and enjoy the written word.
There are blogs to critique poetry. Not this one.
If you don't like a certain poem, don't comment.
Easily done.
Yes to all! Note that my submission is a poem and the music that inspired it. Sara, a new blogger, offering free MP3 recordings of her beautiful music, wrote the music accompanying my poem. Watch next week for her poem and the music which inspired it. Enjoy! hugs, pat

Vinay, Thank you for your invitation. I've left a link and written a poem for your site and Big Tent Poetry (their prompt). I felt I have to let you know that I won't be a regular contributor. I am focusing on writing at least once a week, and would feel pressured to read in addition to this. Thank you for the invite and very best of writing to everyone.
I'm done with the required 18 comments for new poetry sites as well as repaying a visit to those who visited my site.
Had a great time. Read around 40 and counting :)
Still reading and forgot to count , but I think I have done 18.
thanks everyone ,I am having a good time.
done with the 18 comments as agreed. but still here I am reading all these great stuff! thanks for the invite!
here is the entry i posted up there:
entry number 136: " Perfect... "
There are few guys leaving comments on the Collection post, dcec http://dcec.wordpress.com/ is done with 18 visits, I'm not sure what name he has entered here. And Mary Bach http://writinginthebachs.blogspot.com/ agrees with the rules!
Hi Jingle and friends. I got the invitation to join, but I don't have anything written at the moment, so I will pass on this rally. Hope everyone is well. Happy Rally!
I have read 18 magnificent poems, so I am "done" !
Happy Rally everyone!
Thanks for the hard work, folks..
marked you down as done, referring to those who left a comment to inform us...
be patient if your request is not met, I will check every 3 hours..
I've done the 18 required and many besides. As ever a load of great poetry.
The Lonely Recluse.
A thoroughly enjoyable exercise of magnificent reads - 18+ have been absorbed...
I am done with the reading of more than 18 poems and they are equally wonderful and amazing..some are beyond words..
And i have been sincere enough to turn to the poems of those who have turned up on my poem :)
Enriching experience..
Happy rally to all :)
YES TO AAALL! ^.^

Happy reading to all!

Yes for everything except 2. I am submitting a poem I wrote last week for a picture prompt at one stop poetry as I did not have enough time to write a new one. Will post here again once I have read 18 of the posts.

Thanks..creation dreams.
I finished 18 now only, But I can see I am already marked as done. Thanks. I had done 16 in the morning. And also I submitted the wrong poem by mistake. I wanted to submit a rondel and instead submitted the haiku. But guess I will let it be. Hope I can sumbit the rondel next time. Shall check out more poems in a relaxed manner if I have more time.
