A Basket Full

Aroma of soil in my hand, first green
shoots peeking up, pit-pat
of spring rain, all tucked away
in a trug until summer.

Delusions

Time lets me think I carry him
in my pocket, ticking like a lullaby.
I sleep. He flies.
I wake to tomorrow's silence.

Sewn

Tear the pages from my favorite book,
stitch them together tight.
Wrap myself in the blanket
so I can dream tonight.

Ink Blood

Silent flow, black against white:
my ink blood spills on the page.
Words and phrases come alive
within each heartbeat.

Volatile

A storm teeters on the edge of the day,
waits for the sun to take
her warmth from the sky,
a few degrees 'til explosion.

I Still Believe

Made a wish at eleven-eleven
on a lucky star.
You're not here yet, but that's okay.
I still believe in the moon's magic.

Lover Retiring

Stark branches tipped in new green
reach toward a lavender sunset,
grasping for the retreating arms
of this spring day.

Ride and Iron Horse

Today the road calls my name
so I mount an iron horse at your back.
I open my arms to the wind,
close my eyes and I fly

No Rain Today

Thunder growls from afar
making promises he can't keep
as Sun pokes her fingers into
frayed holes in loose-knit clouds.

Poetry Prompts

Grab a word or phrase from this ever- changing list, and write a poem of your own. Be sure to let me know where I can read it in the comments section! I'll feature poems I love right here on the site, and link back to your site, too!

1. Meteor Shower due tonight, Tuesday, August 11, 2009. Write a poem about shooting stars.

2. Choose a cliche' and switch it up. For example: Instead of "just a drop in the bucket" try "just a grain of rice in the jambalaya". Now use this new phrase in your poem.

3. Pick three key items from your childhood memories of summer. Use them in a poem.

4. Start with a line from your favorite poem. (You could cheat a little and choose a line from a novel.) Recycle that line into a first line for your poem, and start writing.

5. Begin with the words, "He said". Then switch to "She said." Use this as a launch for a poem about opposing views.

6. Looking Through the Glass -- write about what you see through a window, a drinking glass, a pair of eyeglasses, a fishbowl or in a mirror... any sort of glass will do.

7. Write a poem where the sounds of the words are as important as what they mean. There's no wrong way to do this, just listen to your words and have fun with it.

8. Grab a book of poetry and choose a favorite, or look up a poem online. Select five words from that poem and incorporate them into your own.

9. Check out Poetic Asides Wednesday Poetry Prompts.

10. Check out Totally Optional Prompts!

FEATURED POEM

Leaves

by Lisa Beaudoin @DancingWithPens


Autumn leaves fly
in the wind, blow
across the land, crumble
under foot, and color
soil in shades alive.


Pages flutter,
as books are read,
folio all, tapestry
of words, sprinkle
silently across sight.

People wisp away
from our life, littering
memory with faint
remnants, crumbling heart,
and stalling soul.
