Sometimes these prompts bring out something surprising: Make the Woman

I didn’t think much of mine, but here it is:

Here is my contribution. Silly but sometimes silly is what we need.

Clothes

Goodwill

I didn’t expect the direction this prompt took me, but it was cathartic, after watching a dear friend struggling with her health, earlier this week:

Mine is kind of narcisistic!

I’ve posted a poem mentioning clothes on Crafty Green Poet:

I’ve also posted a poem mentioning clothes on Over Forty Shades (my Alter Ego blog):

I really look forward to visiting everyone and seeing how you’ve all interpreted the prompt!

The pantry mentions undoing clothes.

This one has a beautiful white dress in it. Your drought poem is fantastic, Juliet.

I couldn’t make up my mind which of a few directions to go, so I wrote 3!
Here’s the first:

Thanks for letting me indulge.

Here’s mine, a moment where clothes mattered (laughing)

Here is mine. Not completely thrilled about it, but I like it enough to share.

Thank you for the prompt, which I *barely* followed.

Fun stuff, Juliet!

I’m still thinking on the clothes. I tend to be last to the finish line. In the meantime, I recently wrote this:

here’s one about a lost love

I’m stuck in revisiting old pieces. In the meantime, I’m looking for inspiration in rwp members’ works. here’s a work when I read it I still smile. This one is autobiographical.

Not a poem — an invitation: Introduce Yourself! at Watermark, with a few poetry-related questions, for those who choose to answer them.

I know that many of you go in to read the poems, and right out again — this is an opportunity for Watermark readers to meet each other.

Had a perfectly horrible day. Woke up to find a snow machine sticking out of the side of our porch and parts of my husband’s truck scattered all over the yard. Then insurance issues arose. I won’t bore you with the details, but it was my fault. So, taking some time to relax and write this really helped.

Again, thanks for continuing this site and giving us a place to escape to!

(My husband just called and said he’s all calmed down, now, and the insurance issues are, more or less, resolved. Phew!)

Here’s my poem:Ties To Cold Mornings Passed, a strange take on the (very enjoyable) prompt. Thanks, Juliet!

Here’s mine.

This is my first time to share a piece here at RWP. It’s very much a first draft, but I’m glad to be here! Thanks for the great prompt, Juliet.

Dressed to kill — Reaper Groom (murder mystery).

Written last May, but fits the prompt.

I had all sorts of ideas about clothes poems. This is a really great prompt! But winter has me in a funk. Still, in the end, the clothes appeared. Comments & critique always welcome!

Here’s my contribution: Protection

You are most welcome for the mention! Here at Writer’s Island we feel there are several interesting blogs that provide good prompts, and I want to make certain the islanders are aware of them — because you can never do too much writing…
We invite you back to the island again soon …deb — and anyone else who loves to write for the sheer pleasure of it, all forms, and who seek prompts to inspire them.
