Hello, thanks for the challenge, I'll be interested in participating however, I am not sure if it is a requirement to join the ravens?

Or if we can just write the poem and comment on those who participate?

No, requirement to join the club (Ravens Home). The objective is to foster high quality poetry, but if your looking for a poetry club home, we'll be glad to have you join us.

Everlasting, I see you're a member of Phoenix Rising already. Invite your fellow club members to the challenge.

Hehe yeah, that's the reason why I was curious. Thanks, I'll give this a try.
