get your poem on #5
From now until midnight one week from today, comments on this post will be open, so you can leave a permalink to your blog post for this week’s contribution.
Please take a few moments to read the the about page, the code of conduct and our copyrights page. If you have any questions about the project after reading through those pages, please e-mail us at info (at) readwritepoem (dot) org.
Please note: Comments might get stuck in our spam or moderation filters, especially since the project is new. It takes the filter some time to learn which comments are legitimate and which ones are not.
If you don’t see your comment appear, be patient. We will be checking the filters throughout the day and will fish out anything that’s not spam. If you continue to send comments after the first one does not appear, you will make it harder for the spam filter to recognize that your comment is valid because we will have to keep deleting the extra comments you’ve left, which will in turn make the spam filter think you are sending us junk mail.
Please also note: We strongly encourage participants to link to the Read Write Poem site every week that they participate and to tag or categorize their posts as “Read Write Poem.” Doing so each week helps new people find the project and increases the site’s visibility and rankings — and that in turn that means more people will see the work of project participants.

This was a great prompt, worked much better for me than I expected it to! Thanks Christine! I used Anne Michael’s Fugitive Pieces for the inspiration andmy poem is here, on my Alter Ego blog: http://foundcraftygreenart.blogspot.com/2007/12/refugee.html
I took words from Perfect Match by Jodi Picoult. My verse was not intended to be short review. However, it is.
better judgement
My first week ~ loved the prompt! I’ve used D.H. Lawrences’ ‘The Virgin and the Gipsy’ ~ strictly speaking a novella…
My Family Name
John Berendt’s The CIty of Falling Angels was my inspiration this week.

Hi BB, and welcome to the project!
I went with Joan Dideon’s Year of Magical Thinking To Focus On What Is Not Is Not Comforting
To Kill a Mockingbird (Sorry I don’t know how to use italics in a message!) is the first novel that popped into my head. It’s one of my all time favorites. You can read mine here hopefully, if I did this link thing right!
Here’s mine, a roughdraft for sure. I’ll be back later to read!

Welcome, Tammy!
I went with words from “Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West” by Gregory Maguire. [I made my wife laugh at me when I confessed it was the first novel I found that I didn't have to dust off.]
My poem this week is called Onward and you can find it here:

I’m loving these prompts.
