Gerald SoAfter 12 years, the final (625th) #Poem at my #Crime #Poetry site #TheFiveTwo, "Something #Fishy" by #JHJohns: https://poemsoncrime.blogspot.com/2023/09/jh-johns.html
The site lost a news outlet last year when I left #Twitter, but I couldn't stay in good conscience. Everything has a natural lifespan. It's better to end at the right time than force things simply to keep going. I look forward to new opportunities. #TheFiveTwo
I haven't received enough submissions to continue my #Poetry site's #Poem of the Week for a thirteenth year. Closed to poetry, the blog is open to posts promoting poetry. Thanks for your support over the years: https://poemsoncrime.blogspot.com/2023/09/this-is-it.html #TheFiveTwo

I'm currently deciding whether to commit to a 13th year of 52 #Poems at my weekly #Poetry site #TheFiveTwo. It depends on how many submissions I receive by August 31. #Guidelines: https://poemsoncrime.blogspot.com/p/guidelines.html

My #Crime #Poetry site #TheFiveTwo needs two #Poems to finish its 12th year. If I receive much more than two poems, I'll continue the site into Year 13. #Writers' #Guidelines: https://poemsoncrime.blogspot.com/p/guidelines.html
