A new publication has appeared from Online University Review, the Top 100 Poetry Blogs. Diane Lockward’s Blogalicious is on the list – congrulations, Diane! It has given me a new source for adding to my Blogroll, which I’m regularly doing, now that I cleaned house. Despite the intolerable slowness of the new Blogrolling.com (guys, can you do something about the atrocious loading time?). I noticed that Avoiding the Muse made #33 AND #34 on the list – impressive blogging, no doubt. They want to be sure you don’t miss it.
Sadly, Rocket Kids didn’t make the Top 100 list, but then we prefer to stay in a quiet corner of the Internet, far-far away from any university, so it’s no wonder a university missed us. And I like to think of Rocket Kids as indefinably eclectic, if not electric.
Among the poetry blogs I’m adding to my Blogroll, thanks to Top 100:
One Poet’s Notes (Edward Byrne, editor Valparaiso Poetry Review)
Best Words in Their Best Order (FSG’s poetry blog)
White Chicken (Michelle Lewis’ poetics blog)
Poetry & Poets in Rags (Rus Bowden of IBPC fame)
ReadWritePoem (speaking of eclectic and stimulating)
Nic Sebastien’s Very Like a Whale (interview with editors coming soon)
I’m so glad to see Poetry Hut Blog (#16 on Top 100) return from hiatus. Yay, Jilly! I hope the coffee helped.

Hi Rachel,
thanks for the link:-), I am using some of the sites on my blog Poetry4kids – Kids Poetry Directory. I made this directory of poetry blogs and web sites for kids.
Have a great day,
Milou
I’m glad I’m in such good company, Karen. We can start our own list. And thanks for redirecting me. I’ll change my blogroll so I can keep reading!
Hi Rachel — Nope, I didn’t make the list, but I wanted to drop you a note to say that I have moved my blog. Here is the new site:

You’re welcome. Nice to meet you too!
Thanks for the link, Rachel — and nice to meet you!
