The February theme was "nonsexual intimacies." I worked from 12:15 PM to 7:45 AM, so about 17 hours 30 minutes, allowing for lunch and supper breaks. I wrote 5 poems on Tuesday and another 8 later in the week.
Participation was lower, with 19 comments on LiveJournal and 49 on Dreamwidth. Please welcome new prompters
mirrorofsmoke and Anna Libertas. You have them to thank for the second freebie.

unsold poetry list for February 7, 2017. That includes the title, length, price, and the original thumbnail description for the poems still available.

The Poetry Fishbowl made its $200 goal, so "
Fears You Didn't Know Existed" was the free epic. We also made the $250 goal, so that's two tallies toward a bonus session.
The Poetry Fishbowl project also has a permanent
