Do you have any interest in Daily prompts? An Acrostic
On May 24, WordPress announced that new Daily Prompts would cease at the end of the month 🙁 See:
To the Daily Post Community: Thank You!
Almost 500 comments were received expressing concern/ disappointment before comments were closed 🙁
You may like to read the comments on the right of the post:

OMG Where are the Prompts?
(an Acrostic)
O WordPress lows and highs
My Happiness capsize
Gods waived my day prompt prize
When I gaze to the skies
How my rose-tinted eyes
Ever yearn I advise
Return please finalise
Endless my compromise
Allies wise my time flies
Revise cries dramatise
Eyes demise empathise
Transgress prompt lie implies
Helpless I sympathise
Endless require replies
Prompts please best customise
Realise our great prize
Our best dreams maximise
Make our day without sighs
Perfect dream glamorise
Today create surprise
So return satisfies

We will continue this blog when WordPress 5.0 arrives; soon I hope 😉
May we have the courage to continue (with Gutenberg). See:
When will WordPress 5.0 arrive?
I started contributing to the WordPress daily prompts in September 2017.
The Courage to Continue
There is no need for me to add more posts when you can view my old posts for the WordPress Prompts 😉
Time to wait for WordPress 5.0 to arrive. Hopefully we will not have to wait too much longer 🙁

Recycle old prompts

Other poems with this prompt
(make sure you look at the member poems):
It is now over two months since WordPress announced (giving one week’s notice) that new Daily Prompts would be discontinued on 1 June.
We will probably never know the reason why new prompts were stopped.
What surprises me is the relatively small number of users interested in continuing daily prompts.
What are your thoughts?

Just checking that prompts are still working (5 June). Nope 🙁
Maybe WordPress has stopped old prompts working too?
What is the purpose of this?

Daily Prompts may or may not be working now on the original site.
Try it and see.
Nope- this does not seem to be working this morning 🙁
Latest reply from Ben:
Hi Alan,
After discussing this with my team, we decided to keep pingbacks switched off on The Daily Post. My apologies for replying too quickly; there are several factors that make keeping pingbacks switched on a solution that can’t work for us. I very much hope you and others in the community find alternative methods to connect and synch your writing themes.
Best regards,
Ben
Previous reply from Ben yesterday (to my email below):
Hi Alan,
I’ve re-activated pingbacks on the site to give bloggers’ effort to use the same prompt a chance at success. We’d decided to turn pingbacks off once no new prompts were going to be published, but I see no compelling reason not to reverse it given that some community members would still like to rely on it.
Thanks for reaching out,
Ben
Below is my email to Ben this morning:
Hi Ben
You promised that when new daily prompts stopped, existing site/prompts would remain
https://dailypost.wordpress.com/2018/05/24/to-the-daily-post-community-thank-you/
However today I find that pingbacks (working up to today) are no longer working this morning.
Has WordPress stopped allowing pingbacks to the Daily Post site (posts to old prompts)?

Open letter to Ben Huberman (WordPress): Demise of Daily Prompts We are sad that the Daily Prompts are finishing. Can you …
Thank you for sharing your thoughts — one of my colleagues saw this post, and since it’s addressed to me I didn’t want to leave it unanswered. Asking people to “start over” from a specific prompt is an interesting idea, and if people decide to do so among their own blogging peers, that’s fantastic. But there are several reasons for which making this a more “official” solution won’t be practical, so I don’t foresee announcing this on our site.
I want once again to thank you and everyone else from the Daily Post community for the outpouring of comments and feedback in the wake of our announcement last week. Our decision isn’t changing, but our team has been listening to the whole range of reactions we’ve seen — from the positive to the very negative — and they will definitely inform our work going forward
