get your poem on #2
by Jill Crammond Wickham
Here we are with the second “Get Your Poem On” post. 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.
We hope you took the time to write something based on the “eat, drink, write a poem” prompt, but we won’t start any food fights if you decided to go in another, foodless, direction.
Please, link back here in your posts, either with a hyperlink to Read Write Poem or by using the badge in your post. Sidebar links are great but it helps our “internet health” when you link in every post you contribute to the project. And please add “Read Write Poem” in your tags, if you don’t mind.
For the new folks: Please take a few moments to read the About pages, including our Copyrights page. If you have any questions about the project after reading through those pages, email us at info (at) readwritepoem (dot) org.

- planning for napowrimo in april, and you are invited!
February 2, 2010 | 6:12 pmHello, hello dear Read Write Poem community members! We are in the planning stages for NaPoWriMo. (What? Is that a groan I hear, or an excited exclamation?)
We are planning another prompt-every-day for those folks who love to write a daily poem in April (which is, as most of you know, National Poetry Month in the United States — although there is an international following of writing poetry every day in April, too, so it is not just about the States).
Anyway! This is a call for prompts because we want to run your ideas, one every day, in April. So here’s what to do:
- Prompts must be no more than 250 words, and we will take the first 30 that we receive.
- Include “NaPoWriMo Prompt” in the subject line of your email as well as your username (e.g., the name you use when you log in) so we can match you up with your prompt and give you the link love.
- Email your submission (in the body of the email — no attachments please) to prompts (at) readwritepoem (dot) org!
We’ll let you know when we’ve got the 30, but don’t delay because it takes a lot of time to format the posts and we want to be ready come April Fools’ Day. Woohoo!
- new senior contributors at read write poem
February 2, 2010 | 11:51 amWe are thrilled to announce that Ren Powell and Dave Jarecki are moving into the senior contributor role at Read Write Poem. Both have been writing feverishly for the site, as well as providing ideas for content and for the community as a whole. In short, they make this site a more lively, and better, place.
Ren and Dave will fill the roles vacated by Carolee Sherwood and Jill Crammond Wickham, who have moved into the manager role.
Everyone please thank Ren and Dave for their hard work and commitment to Read Write Poem.
- rounding out the virtual book tour of sarah j. sloat’s ‘in the voice of a minor saint’
January 31, 2010 | 1:53 pmOur last stop on the Virtual Book Tour of Sarah J. Sloat’s In the Voice of a Minor Saint is with Ren Powell. Find Ren’s review at More Babel.
Joseph Harker provided our first stop in December, and you can find David Moolten’s review at Edible Detritus. David’s was followed by Dave Jarecki’s. Dave’s review is at his blog. Find Jill Crammond Wickham’s at Jillypoet: Mom Trying to Write.
In case you missed the introduction, we are (virtually) hosting Sarah J. Sloat’s In the Voice of a Minor Saint. For complete tour information, such as how you can get your own copy of the collection or how you can get involved in future tours, read this post.
- make your own book: get off the computer and onto the paper
January 30, 2010 | 4:19 pmBeth Adams has posted her latest project at The Cassandra Pages. “A Handmade Book” may not explicate all the details of bookbinding, but Beth shows readers the “Secret Belgian Binding.” It’s a beautiful as well as inspiring post.
If you would like more detailed instructions, Google “secret Belgian bookbinding” and find sites such as this one. Or look for a local book arts class for hands-on instruction.
As Beth says, ” … it did me good to get away from the computer and feel my hands at work!”

Happy Monday everyone! I think I’m the first one this evening…I can’t wait to read about everyone’s food: it’s making me hungry just thinking about it.
http://stoneymoss.blogspot.com/2007/11/afterglow.html
Oh, what a wonderful prompt this was! Thank you – it inspired me to write about a very special memory.
http://thisgirlremembers.wordpress.com/2007/11/25/family-legacy/
I’m looking forward to reading the submissions to this.
Don’t let the first stanza of mine scare you off.

It’s late spring/early summer here but all you Americans have got me thinking about autumn!
http://pipssqueaks.blogspot.com/2007/11/readwritepoem-eat-drink.html

Don’t you just love eating!
Here’s mine – http://sewina.blogspot.com/2007/11/rwp2-eating.html
Hi all,
Here’s my take:
http://abroadsthoughtsfromhome.blogspot.com/2007/11/read-write-poem.html
Thanks for the prompt, Jilly.
I end up on the strangest tangents from your prompts. I’m glad for them.
http://mingyun.org/2007/11/26/mango/
In trying to keep up with all the prompts, I cheated and combined two into Hunting Season
Thanks for this great prompt! I love writing about food.
Here’s mine: Sweet, Vidalia and Pearl.
here’s an older poem about mangoes:
http://craftygreenpoet.blogspot.com/2007/11/eating-mangoes.html
[...] true. poets are hungry. 26Nov07 nablopomo day #26 it’s time to “get your poem on” over at read. write. poem. this week, we’re posting links to poems we’ve posted [...]
[...] Written for the prompt #2 at Read Write Poem. The other responses (mostly food poems) are here. [...]
nothing philosophical or enlightening or profound here. just a bit of nostalgia about fish. (nostalgic about fish? yes, it’s one for the family album.).

Here’s my recipe. This was fun – thanks, jillypoet.

This was a wonderful prompt that I so wanted to work with…but I haven’t, yet.
I did find a great online journal with a food poem (two) I liked a great deal.
The link to it is here. (And it’s another high-caliber place for you to submit your original work to, BTW.)
Here is a poem which begins at the end of a beautiful meal. http://gingatao.wordpress.com/quod-erat-demonstrandum/
A visit to the supermarket: http://patteran.typepad.com
Oh, what a rebel I am! This is not about food, but concerns an experience I had this week. And it is syllabic, for those of you who were in on that discussion–ten syllables to a line.
I hope it will serve as my Writers Island post, too, as I don’t have another poem in me today (or time to even think about another). For better or worse, here ’tis.
I’m always really bad about following the prompts but the peacefulness of cooking and eating definitely made this poem happen. if that counts for anything…
http://poetwithadayjob.wordpress.com/2007/11/24/630-am-farm/
Here’s a collaborative piece I wrote based on a form Carolee provided. It’s something we worked on several weeks ago, but it involves food so I thought I’d share it this week for Read Write Poem.
No spiders crawling down my throat, just some lustful fruits & vegetables…
Love Poems from the Produce Section
This I had posted on the prompt link.

For some reason I was thinking Wednesday was the day to post, but a chance visit to Pip’s blog reminded me to get my post up, then get over here and post my link. It’s a good thing I started early: here are my Poetic Fruits
“This no banquet
There’s no target
But all favorites
My delights.
Please accept this invite
Come on over to surprise.
Bon Appétit!”
http://ul-typingaway.blogspot.com/2007/11/my-treat.html
Here’s mine just like I promised, come on over for my treat!
Welcome to the block, readwritepoem — I’m so glad you’re here.
My submission this week is Enchilada Special.
[...] that idea a bit. If you’re interested in reading other poems about food, be sure to check out ReadWritePoem this week. Next week, we’ll be writing about [...]
I suppose it isn’t food, per se, but… here’s mine.
This is mine
