StLBloggers Carnival #10

Nobody came up with the theme for April’s blogger carnival, and thus April’s carnival was hosted by Nobody.  And there is something poetic about that, which is a good thing, since April’s theme was National Poetry month.  Confused?  No?  Good.

For April there were six participants:

In The National Poetry Month Poems By: The Baked Blogger, The Baked Blogger posted three poems, and the inspirations for each.  There are also several poems from readers in the comment thread.

In her post, Measuring Out My Life in Coffee Spoons CasaChristy told the tale of her most notorious poem -- the story behind its creation and what has happened since. Some will feel the poem should carry a NSFW warning.

SarahLynn shared a Playground Rhyme

LisaS at Clearview had two entries, she wrote about her thoughts on Handprints and in More Found Object Sculpture she introduced a ‘new sort of spamku’.

John at TransylvanianDutch shared some poetry with us every day in April, starting with a baseball poem and ending with The Butterfly

We created a Poetic Goozle (Goozle: a puzzle you may need to use an internet search engine to solve.)

No one volunteered to host for the Month of May (a disturbing tradition) so Nobody will host again.

For May’s theme, we ask you to blog about an Annual May happening.  The one that occurs during the weekend preceding the last Monday of the month.  The Indianapolis 500.  So write something about Indianapolis.  Write something about car races in general.  Write something about the number 500.  Write something about Hoosiers.  Or come up with another subject you feel able to connect to the Indianapolis 500.

The Carnival Rules:

Interested STL Bloggers should write a new post on the stated theme by the specified deadline. They should then email the host at the provided email address with the following information:

1) Name of Blogger
2) Permalink URL of blog post
3) Title of Blog Post
4) URL of Blog
5) Title of Blog
6) Would you be interested in volunteering to be the next host? Yes/No
6a) If Yes – what would your theme be?

The host will then take all the submissions that meet the simple requirements of addressing the specified theme, and having been posted between the announcement and the deadline – and link to them from one post, with some annotative comments for each. This post shall be posted at StlBloggers.com, and if the host wishes, at their own blog. Participants should expect a delay of a few days between the deadline and this post.

The host will also choose the next host from the volunteers in any fashion they desire.
