This month's theme was "All the news is dark, so light a candle." I worked from 1:15 PM to 5:15 AM, so about 14 hours allowing for lunch and supper breaks. I wrote 9 poems on Tuesday and another 10 later in the week.
Participation was lively, with 26 comments on LiveJournal and another 55 on Dreamwidth. There were no new prompters.

The Poetry Fishbowl made its $200 goal, so "
Their Anguish Personal" is the free epic. We also made the $250 goal, so that's a third tally toward a bonus session.
