Ringing On Time

As usual, I'm late.

The Ringing Of The Bards #9 is up and running at SomethingKaty. Based on the artistry of Miss Sam Duffy it was a smashing success.

This week's Ringing will be hosted by Paper Tigers.

Hosts are desperately needed.

The Ringing #8

The eighth edition of the Ringing Of The Bards is now up and running at Naked and Ashamed. Dan has done a great job painting with primary colors to produce a rainbow of poetry submissions.

If you'd like to know more about the Ringing Of The Bards (the poetry carnival) well that was the link. Plenty of weeks are available should you desire to become a host. Available weeks and previous hosts may be found here. Hey guys, we really need some hosts to step up to the plate.

Next weekend's host is Katy of SomethingKaty. Katy has some special submissions instructions should you wish to participate in next week's Ringing Of The Bards. I think once you read her instructions you'll be happy to take part.
