I thought, for a lark, I would gauge the "hits" from each of my groups this month, as I just re-opened ElectricPoetry, and feel I should "post the most" on my own group. Since I am "grouping" majorly this month, I still find time to visit other groups, and comment, but I want to comment on each piece posted on my group, and use it to "correspond" with the people who matter the most to me in cyber space. I am inviting others besides the "ol group" at Poetry for Daydreamers. My group has 143 posts in April. There are "15" listed members, a few who haven't posted in a while. The first group I joined this year only has 3 posts for April. Lyric Lair has had 19 (with 148 members). The next group in my list has no posts. Lisa's group Gemnye's Journal, a journal group, with only 8 members, has 21. I lose only because of Poet Circle, with 37 very vocal members, has 163 posts. (This is my "crit" group though, and includes quite a few constant posters.) I don't have access to my other Yahoo profile, with five poetry groups, but they are older groups and seldom have posts.
This makes my group a "happenin'" group, with my very few people, but who post, and who posted on Andy's group before I brought them over to mine, I am happy in Cyberland, full of poetic spirit, (again) and apt to spend more time (23 poems now) writing.

22 poems so far this year.
This must be a record.
I credit the interactivity which I seem to crave.
I've been incredibly active in groups again,
yet have balanced the online time with personal time, so I don't really feel like I'm on the computer exclusively. I salvaged the membership of Andy's group, Poetry for Daydreamers, when Andy shuttered it. I'll have to take down the link to Andy's group on the left and replace it with the ElectricPoetry Group, which I resurrected on this time of Easter 2004. I'm beginning to send out the invitations. I want 20 or 30 constant posters, a mix of writers and readers. So far the brew is delicious, and the camaraderie fresh and fulsome. Andy is an early member. He has the same wit and brio he displayed as a moderator, and I think the pressures of running multiple groups bore heavily upon his creative soul. Now he's free. One of his group members founded a new Short Stories 4 Daydreamers, and the ex members of that group got together again. Lyric Lair is "quiet" these days, and I've joined two more writer's groups, and two more "coffee klatch" groups, after having some success posting poetry on another group.
I just have to remember to balance, and with the renewed interest in photography, causing me to upgrade my webshots account, I'm taking lots of "trips around town" to photograph. Three major "expeditions" so far and I've only had the camera a month or so.
