CPC About Me ~ Draft
The “Creative Poetry Corral” began on MySpace in May of 2007. It started off as a poetry collaboration site and was named “Cheryl’s Pals Creative Collab Corral”. How it happened: Lady Cheryl, our founder, created this UNIQUE poetry collaboration process initially for her friends and it just took off like crazy!!! This Collab development concept is a three blog a week offering that takes poets through a process designed for maximum social poetic interaction!!! The resulting poetry is called “Cheryl’s Pals Collabs”.
Eventually and gradually, Lady Cheryl added more venues to the Corral beginning with “A Simple Sunday Challenge”, a poetic challenge that featured a MySpace artists and their art for poetic inspiration!!! Then came “Wonderful Wednesday with Cheryl’s Pals”, a venue designed to give CPC friends an opportunity to create and host a poetic challenge of their own; “Cheryl’s Pals Meet & Greet”, offered the first Wed of the month ~ a venue originally created to introduce new “Cheryl’s Pals Collab Writers” to the other members of the poetry site *smiling*; “Pick-Apart-Poetry” , a poetic challenge game that featured a MySpace poets poetry selection for other poets to pick-apart 25 words and arrange into a new poetic expression of their own.
As time moved on, all of these venues began to be too much for Cheryl to manage alone and a few of her poetic friends stepped up to the plate to take over planning and creating the additional venues for her. We dub these awesome friends the “CPC Crew”. After that three new venues came along: “Magic Monday”, created to explore the magic in our lives; “Thematic Attic Thursday”, designed to spark the muse’s imagination on things past, present, future; and finally the”Fabulously Fun Friggin Friday Fling” a fun and entertaining venue that touches on a relevant event or current interest and examines being creative with form poetry ~ yep some of them forms are made up by the crew and our friends *smiling*
So now we have all come over to friendburst to continue offering what we believe is both a creative and social place for people to have a great experience at. None of the venues have changed, most of the crew remains intact, and we are happy to have found a new home that offers the capability to have the social interaction on the blogs that we enjoyed the first three years we were on MySpace. THANK YOU FRIENDBURST!!!
