get your poem on #36
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. Did you poem to one of Rick Mobb’s paintings? We hope so, but if something else inspired you, we want to read that work, too.
Be sure to check back in for new links; we’re open for a full seven days so people have lots of time to link in. You don’t want to miss those who post later in the week.
* * *
The regular information (read this if you are new):
As always, 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.
Comments will get stuck in our spam or moderation filters if you put two or more links in one comment. The filter thinks you are selling drugs or promoting online gambling when that happens. Maybe even really cheap car insurance.
Sometimes it might not recognize you if you’re new to us, and sometimes it doesn’t recognize people who have posting here, or even authoring posts, for months and months.
We’ll fish you out. But depending on the time of day and where you live in this big world, it might take 8 hours, depending on sleep cycles. So be patient.
(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. We know what you send isn’t junk. Far from it. But the filter just isn’t that smart.)
That said, you are not limited to one comment or poem link. We aren’t counting. There is no quota. We just want you to put only one link in a separate comment.
Any questions? No? OK. Get your poem on.

Here’s mine: http://disorder1313.wordpress.com/2008/07/17/traffic
This one is inspired by one of Rick’s paintings: Inside Fibonacci
I love this painting by Rick of a pair of old boots that I found on his website and this poem fit into the series of posts I’m doing about hiking and camping in the California Sierra Nevada so here it is:

You’ll find mine in this post:

Rick Mobbs’ “Nanda” projected a lot of Black to me…

Hello everyone, I chose ‘Portrait of Nanda’ and wrote a poem called “Do you know who I am?”

Reasons I suck: I didn’t write something specifically for Read Write Poem today. Although I do have something so share: my part in a massive collaborative poem a few of us ladies are writing together.
My part can be found here: Entry.
And the whole poem in process (as well as some other collaborative work) can be found here: The Poetry Collaborative.
xoxo, Dana.
Creation’s Cusp.
Sorry guys the above is a bad link.
Creation’s Cusp.
nothing big. just the secrets of the universe.
Here’s a link to not one but four poems written in response to Rick’s amazing paintings - the first, “Now”, was written specifically for this prompt.
Her last defense, after Portrait of Nanda by Rick Mobbs
A short poem, seemed to suit the portrait.
anthony kindly pointed out my link wasn’t working on this site (i know my avatar doesn’t link on this site–for some reason you get a photo of my child!)
so here goes again:

Hi everyone,
Here’s my poem, In Mud-Colored Dreams, We Watch Distant City, inspired by Standing in the Shadows.

Such a good prompt! I love ekphrastic poetry! And Rick Mobbs…wow!
Here’s my poem June Cleaver and the Soccer Moms Release Their First Single
Here’s my entry, a trio of short poems in which I try to link all the paintings. It’s the first time I’ve created new poems for readwritepoem, so I hope you all enjoy them.

I don’t have a poem from the prompt yet — though I’m working on one. What I do have is some questions: Poetry, Personality & Design
Oops — that link didn’t work correctly. Let’s try this: Poetry, Personality & Design
I’m a bit slow this week, but here a day late is my Portrait of Nanda
This one took a while to percolate but I finally came up with something.
Thanks for this great idea.

Here is mine. Thank you for the prompt!

Hmmm… my links seem to be vanishing though I’m sure I’m entering them properly: here it is again in plain text form.

I can’t get enough of Rick’s paintings! Or the new worlds they inspire! Here’s another poem, based on a different painting In a Strange Turn of Events, June Cleaver Shreds Her Apron
I ended up writing on Fibonacci. I’m finished writing end-of-term reports for all my students now, and should be hanging around here more regularly again! It feels good to be back.
As In Waking
I had this painting on my desktop all week trying to get the feel of it. *HERE* is mine. It stumbles a bit, but it is my first attempt at a Ghazal.
Finally! read write prompt #36: ekphrastic extravaganza
Yep, I wrote and here it is. I’m contemplating taking on a “membership” in this site but am not sure how regularly I can “come” — hmmm — love your site, tho.
