Between financial hardships which have caused me to lose my internet connection, and my upcoming phlebotomy program, I simply cannot devote two hours a day any longer to collect your dragonflies. Jenny (whom I have much respect) has been a big help and has done a fine job, but it has been a pretty ambitious project to attempt and maintain, even for two people.
I have found it satisfying and will miss collecting all of your dragonflies in many ways. I have watched poets stretch and grow, and seen new poets appear, and sadly, old ones disappear. I have learned much myself, as a poet, reading all of you who have taken the time to put yourself out there to be read. There are so many excellent poets who deserve attention, and are still out there writing. Please take the time to read them, and you will be given a gift you cannot find anywhere else.
To all those who have ended up in these archives, the over 5000 people who have visited this blog, and those who have given me such encouragement and support – Namasté.

Sorry to hear about the end of The Dragonfly Archives. But most important is for you to take care of yourself & be well. Will you still tweet from time to time as @WhyDragonsDream?
God bless,

Alas, my friend ~ a wonderful effort by both you and Jenny and certainly worthy of much respect and appreciation.
My thanks ‘weasel’ for the encouragement you’ve been to me personally and for your labor of love & devotion ~ hope to continue to see your own poetry on twitter and to be able to maintain contact as well e’en though we may not be able to enjoy the same freedom from limitations as before ~ with much affection, Abby
Thank you SO much for all that you’ve done for the poets on twitter. You and Jenny both. It’s been an incredible undertaking and much appreciated by all of the poets whose words you treasured and protected. Wishing you much love, peace and joy in your life, my friend. Take good care. *big squishy hugs* ddh77
Thank you for your and Jenny’s amazing work and support of the twitter poets. As with all things, change is inevitable. I wish you the best in your new endeavors. I hope we will still have the pleasure of reading your words on twitter.
Namaste

Where has it flown to? ~ Dragonfly's flown out of sight ~ Wings shine in mem'ry.
Namasté, Friend.
There have been so many changes since I went on a hiatus from Twitter and the Internet in general. Coming back now, I am sadden that The Dragonfly Archives is no longer around. However, I can take comfort in knowing that there are archives from way back when that I can still read. It is through your archives that you both have worked so tirelessly to collect, a feat even I cannot imagine I myself would ever do–something I would always appreciate because I found myself among new and old fellow poets and friends! Reading haiku and other forms of poetry daily was a blessing, a delight in all its own because of the work you’ve done.
Thank you sincerely for all that you’ve done for the Twitterworld AND most importantly, for supporting me as a poet because I never thought my work would mean so much to many, many people out there. Thank you so much, and many blessings to you! Good luck in your future endeavors. I know how one must take care of the things in life. As for me, I’m heading for nursing school in the fall so I have lots to do!
Please do stay around on Twitter, and keep in touch!
