A Notice from Real Toads

Dearest Friends, Toads, Fellow Poets and all who have made it part of their blogging experience to drop in to visit us at The Imaginary Garden over the last decade,
It is my sad duty to inform you all that this blogsite will no longer be offering weekly challenges as of
January 1, 2020.

It is a cliche to say, 'All good things must come to an end' but I firmly believe that the concept of this communal poetry blog was a very good thing, and all the member 'Toads' have been instrumental in influencing the world of online blogging and, specifically, the writing of poetry since July 2011. That is a huge contribution! Unfortunately, the time has come for us to end our collaborative efforts, but not our creative writing, nor blogging in our personal capacities. We will all continue to support the other sites which offer most important and needful hubs for lovers of poetry to get together and support one another. Poetry is for life, and so is friendship.

Throughout our final month of December, we will be hosting our Monday and Friday prompts and challenges, and we will be going out on a high and celebratory note with our final Play It Again! prompt. Thereafter, The Imaginary Garden will become an archive of the creative genius of all its members, past and present. Thus all posts will be available and may be used for referencing. It is my greatest hope that this library of poetic prompts will continue to inspire writers long into the future.
Please do join us in celebrating this wonderful space and the awesome community of poets who have come such a long way together.




With much love and best regards from
The Head Toad
