Caution Tape Poetry Update

Good day, ladies and gentlemen! We hope all is well! We are writing this to update our followers about changes. First, we are still accepting submissions for our Tumblr blog, DIVERSITY. So far, it has been a great success. Thanks to all of the lovely artist that have submitted and allowed us to feature their work. Also, we are moving our information blog to tumblr.com. Blogspot has been great to us, but we are stretching our hands to a larger audience. Here is the link to our new Caution Tape Poetry Information blog on Tumblr: Beyond the Caution Tape

Thank you for your continued support!
