    If you want good natured, avoid THE CLUB. We're a bunch of wet blankets.

    Well maybe you are, buddy! I'm soft and supple ;)

    Yeah.

    We're a bunch of wet blankets. Wet, sticky blankets.

    Oh yeah.

    I'm not speaking on behalf of Phoenix Rising but I will tell you that we are very much active! By the way we frecking rule! XD

    So far by the number of responses, it seems the club is the most active (at least in this thread). Thanks for the good info. I'm going to see if i get any more feedback before I decide which i want to look into. Again thanks!

    We're just nosy in the forums and like talking about ourselves. There are probably other clubs who write more actual poetry. : )

    I'll be the first to admit Sibs is more soft and supple than me.

    All the clubs mentioned above are the most active.

    I'm part of Moonlight Muses, we are quite the active bunch. We mix poetry with fun and friendship? Wow I sound like i'm baking cookies.. yuck.

    Any of the clubs that have been mentioned are a good choice.

    Phoneix Rising, active, contests, forms challenges, daily chats, but due to Manager's recovery from an illness is not taking on any new members currently.

    Like The Flowing River - from what Nana has told me this is strictly for poetry, comments, critiquing, writing etc.

    ^^ya and they strictly focus on the opposite :P

    Mine died

  • silvershoes

    Aww debbylyn!

    It changed names...

  • debbylyn
    13 years ago

    ^minus half the members!...not the same...

  • Ingrid

    People keep changing clubs all the time..I am sorry that you feel you no longer belong, Debby...It is still Luanne's club!

  • debbylyn

    RTVW is dead and that was my club! It has nothing to do with feelings of not belonging...

    It is now split between Midnight Musings and Fragments of Poetry...two separate clubs that are not RTVW...I have friends in each club...

  • sibyllene

    Heck, I'm even sad about RTVW ending. I know the good reasons behind it, but it's like the end of an era! I hate change.

    Debbylyn, your picture is so sad!

  • Jad

    That picture makes me sad as well. :[

  • abracadabra

    What were the good reasons behind RTVW dying?

    Too many voices being released?

  • silvershoes
    13 years ago

    I also understand many members wanted to turn over a new leaf by closing RTVW and starting up new club(s) but it is sad. Big changes are often very sad and difficult to accept but the only way from here is up.
    You'll all adjust and find the good in how things have turned out, I guarantee.

  • abracadabra

    But...what happened? Oh, what made your leaves fade to old?

  • debbylyn
    13 years ago

    ^club business belongs within the club...I'll not get involved in the public airing of dirty laundry...R.I.P. RTVW

  • abracadabra
    13 years ago

    Yes, that's fair. I'll just satisfy my curiosity by...looking up exotic hot chocolate recipes.

    I hope things are working out, ex-RTVWers. Sad to see your tight and noble group break apart.

    ~~RTVW's Spirit will -always- linger here~~

    I'm sorry you feel this way Deb =( You know you're welcome anytime.

  • Ingrid

    You are one of the best, Debby..any club would be proud to have you..sometimes things change and all you can do is go with the flow.

  • Cindy

    Debbie...you know you have a standing invatation to Phoenix Rising....Love you sis *hugs

  • The Queen

    Didn't she already say that it has nothing to do with feelings of not belonging? A real friend is what she needs not counseling.

  • debbylyn

    Thanks Bob, Cindy, and Myryn...love you guys!

    ...and my big dumb dog too!

  • debbylyn

    Lol Bob....I've belonged to that club since age 18...sometimes not all it's cracked up to be...Barry and I will enjoy old age sans babies thanks!

    Sorry about Buddy...I know how you loved him...he was a lucky dog!...even though Fez is and will remain the cutest ever!
