    the poem i am linking to,, is more or less the culmination of the rant i posted for sunday scribblings,, to which there is s link in the introductory paragraph…

    this is indeed a topic that can be exasperating.. and i often end up “blue” in the face when i attempt it…

    so this is not really enviromental per se, but it is about how the beauty of nature can inspire and i thought it fit. i’ve been on vacation for a week, so it’s gonna take a while to get back to it.

    Nothing new from me this week, but wanted you to know that RWP is working up some NaPoWriMo support for those who imbibe.

    Check back later in the week (tomorrow!)

    We had a white Easter here, but the Easters of my childhood were somewhat greener.

    Okay, evidently I fouled up the link code. Take 2: http://www.vianegativa.us/2008/03/24/easter-eggs/

    I meant to put this up earlier…I’m a week behind: Brian Wilson’s A DAY IN THE LIFE OF A TREE. But, a tree is GREEN, so maybe it still works.

    Ok. I’m back, with a trio of American Sentences: Trash Talk for Read Write Poem.

    I want to thank Tiel for mentioning on an earlier post the form “kyrielle,” and also the two websites on poetic forms. Both sites are very useful.

    I know this is a small thing and very petty but it just bugs the hell out of me.

    I posted this a few days ago . . . . but it seems to fit this topic:

    this for jillypoet–cuz i can’t figure out how to post comments to her blog…

    you asked for feedback–i think there needs some sort of transition between the 1st and 2nd lines

    other than that, i think it’s amazing and finely woven–just like a samoyed sweater!

    A bit late this week. Been off line with tech problems for 5 days. Still, back now. Enjoy.

    Not exactly befitting the prompt, but it’s the train my brain went on….environment…green…spring….um….ex-boyfriend. Ok. Perhaps I derailed a little.

WEEKLY READ WRITE PROMPT

July 2, 2008 — The current Get Your Poem On post is here. This is where you leave us a link to your blog, this week in response to Dana ShuffleWords idea, or any other kind of word play. (Or see if RWP-Twitter is for you!)

Next week's prompt will light you up. Thanks, Jill!



WEEKLY READ WRITE ARTICLES

June 26, 2008 — This month Jessica tells us which poets she first picked out to read, all on her own, because she wanted to. Who did you pick out?

Tom's Informal Talk About Forms has got more rhythm.

Christine's latest installment of Get The Lead Out discusses epigraphs. It's an inspired article.

We've been wanting more read here at Read Write Poem and Juliet brings it with her review of Spoken Word Revolution Redux.

January gives us a primer on revision.



POLL DANCE

July 5, 2008 — This time Carolee talks about how we talk about poetry we may not understand straight away in her "poll dance".

There's a new poll up. Yeah, a day early.



RANDOM PROMPTS

A different word or phrase will appear here each time you visit the site or refresh the page. Your current prompt is — oxidize



RANDOM WRITING TIP

Think of something that is usually portrayed a certain way in your culture (bunny rabbits are sweet, dark rooms are frightening), and write a poem that challenges those assumptions.



RANDOM READING TIP

As you read a poem, make notes about what you like. What words and phrases jump out at you? What was unexpected? How do you relate to the poem?



RANDOM COLLABORATING TIP

Use instant messaging to write a poem with a collaborator by taking turns one word, one phrase or one line at a time. With group chat, you can do this with more than one partner.
