Poll: Poetry Themes for Late 2017

[ysabetwordsmith]

This poll invites audience feedback about themes proposed for the Poetry Fishbowl dates in late 2017. Everyone is eligible to vote in this poll. I will keep it open until at least Monday night, and then I need to close it so I can post the advance announcement on Tuesday.

The structure uses checkboxes. There are 38 themes after condensing similar ones and dropping things we've already covered. You may vote for as many themes as you would enjoy prompting/sponsoring in a fishbowl. I recommend that you don't vote for ALL of them, so as to help narrow down to favorites.

I assume that dividing the alphabetical sequence in two is a way of dealing with the limitations of the polling mechanism, yes?

Yes...

[ysabetwordsmith]

Exactly. They wouldn't all fit in one question.

Actually, looking at some of those suggested themes, you could have fun combining them! E.g Life, Death & Rebirth...When Life gives you Lemons. Or Pirates, Brigands and Time Travel...
