I’m pleased to share two new poems, Freedom and Rosebud, and lyrics to the song Glory of the Dawn. All guaranteed to make you feel good. Thanks, Mikaela!

New Poem, New Chapter and a Readers’ Poll
Read Mikaela’s Poem and the next chapter of God is Now Here by selecting the links. Both of these submissions made me smile but for very different reasons. The poem is a funny and smart explanation of how many married people stay married. The new chapter gives Tina a hard and important decision to make. It also includes a poll asking readers what choice they’d make.
Welcome New Poet
Gemx_the_writer started a great, new poem under Group Projects-Poems, called Time. Follow the link to add to the poem. Welcome to the site, Gemx!

New Poem
Ah, poetry. Perfect words arranged in the perfect order to create the perfect tone, the perfect rhythm and the perfect feeling. Read The Shack of Decision and see how Anne also uses poetry to show how different people respond to the same thing. Perfectly. Welcome to the site, Anne and thanks for sharing!
When imaginations come together. . . cool things happen
Mikaela’s been busy! She’s added to several group projects, including:
two stanzas to the group poem Unicorn
three trials to the Fantasy group project
and… and…
well, she also added quite a fantasy element to the Historical Fiction #2 group project. A bit unexpected. But it also struck me as extremely funny because.. well, because it was so unexpected! You should check it out. Maybe you could add more elements from other genres to this story? I think it’d be fun to mesh all the genres together. Fun to write. Fun to read. Of course, as always, it’s all up to you guys. (But I think you should do it. Really. Please?)

Group Poetry and an Idea for All Write with Me’s Birthday Celebration
Neve has risen to the challenge and continued the group poem, Unicorn, with two awesome verses. Follow the link to see how she did it.
Awhile ago, Elsy asked for suggestions on how we might celebrate the site’s birthday, which is February 4. Mikaela responded by suggesting a writing contest. I’d like to know how everyone feels about this idea. Feel free to comment below.
Impressive Poetry!
Mikaela added two verses to the group poem, Unicorn. Follow the link and read the poem out loud to hear its rhythm, tone and pacing. Then, consider writing the next verse. Remember, anyone can add to group poems. Excellent job, Mikaela!
Two New Stories, Two Additions, and a Verse for Group Poetry
Neve started a new story, Infinity, by setting up her main character with this awesomely mysterious message: “And yet, one single star will change the course of history forever.”
She also continued Hunger (well-written, entertaining and exciting, but also frightening and gruesome, so you should skip this if stories give you nightmares) and added another verse to the group poem, Unicorn. As always, Neve’s beautifully descriptive language is sure to paint detailed images inside your mind.
Elsy started another great story called Now What? filled with characters you’ll love right from the start. She also continued Marcia with Chapter 3: Laughter and Tears. This story always makes me laugh but this time it also warmed my heart. Looks like Marcia has a bigger heart than she cares to admit and is starting to care about James and Lera.
Poor Kitty
See how Ink Wolf uses rhythm to help paint the picture of what happens to this poor cat in Down the Stairs.
The First of Many (at least I hope so)
Mikaela submitted the first verse of the first poem for our Group Projects Poems. The poem is called Unicorn. Follow the link to read it, add to it or leave a comment.
New Addition to Group Projects
Mikeala came up with a fantastic idea for Group Projects: working together to write poetry. Someone would write the first verse, then someone else would write the second verse and so on. She’s done this with her friends and I think it sounds like a lot of fun.
So I’ve added a new section called Group Projects~Poems. You’ll find it listed over there on the right – keep scrolling down!
To get started, select this link: Instructions. You’ll find some topics you could write about, but don’t feel like you’re limited to these topics – you can start a poem about anything you wish, as often as you’d like. Just remember that if you’re starting a new poem, give it a title so I can list your poem under the Group Projects~Poems section for others to discover, read and continue.
Thanks for the suggestion, Mikeala – I love it!
You’re Blowing Me Away
with your awesomeness!
I just finished posting Mikaela’s heartwarming true story and imaginative fantasy (see previous post for links to these) when I found this incredible poem, Wolf, submitted by Neve. I love how Neve contrasts how we typically feel about wolves with how she views them. It’s informative and poetic all at the same time.
Then, I was just getting ready to post that when I found the second chapter of Flight, Neve’s beautifully descriptive fantasy.
You know what? The writers at All Write with Me ROCK!!
Four Great Poems
Mikaela’s poems are sure to make you smile or grin or laugh right out loud. Probably all three.
I know you’ll love the one about a poodle named Sir Doodle, or the baker who gambles with a duke, or the girl who loves her ponytail. Again, probably all three.
And her advice for a mailman is probably going to make your head spin, but in a good way.
Select the links to read these hilarious poems. They’re going to brighten your day. They brightened mine.
Words of Advice (if you are a mailman)
Mikaela, I think you might be the next Shel Silverstein! I’m so impressed. Thanks for sharing!
Awesome Additions!
I’m happy to share with you two new poems: Last Night by Bfoot and A Gecko by Shiloh313. Both are fantastic and powerful.
Bfoot continued the Mystery Group Project and the Fantasy Group Project.
Be sure to check out these latest additions. I’m sure both writers would love to know what you think!
Welcome New Writer
Please help me welcome Shiloh313, who shared the poem, Over and Under. This poem’s repeated phrasing reminded me of waves lapping against a beach – a nice break from the midwest’s latest snowstorm and bitter cold winds. Thanks for the image, Shiloh313, and welcome to All Write with Me!
More Poetry
Read Bfoot’s This is Amelia for an example of using words and rhythm to create strong feelings. I also liked how this poem created images in my mind without telling me what to see. Another impressive entry by Bfoot!
