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.

March 17, 2010 | 11:37 am“The new math of poetry is driven not by reader demand for great or even good poetry but by the demand of myriads of aspiring poets to experience the thrill of ‘publication.’ “
So says David Alpaugh (along with a lot of other thoughtful things) in “The New Math of Poetry,” published last month in The Chronicle of Higher Education.

- it’s a wrap: last stop on our (virtual) tour of molly gaudry’s ‘anatomy for the artist’
March 15, 2010 | 3:28 pm“I was physically drained by this poem. I understood it on my terms. If a poet’s innovative craftsmanship with form, word, sound, imagery, metaphor, can show me my own bones, then I want to read more of that poet’s work.”
Just a snippet from Wanda McCollar’s response to Molly Gaudry’s electronic chapbook, “Anatomy for the Artist.” Look for the entire post on Synecdochic Stuff and find the rest of our tour, below.
The first stop was Donna Vorreyer at her blog. Next up was Catherine Fitchett at Poetry Chook, Lawrence Gladeview at Righteous Rightings and Ren Powell at More Babel.
You can find complete information about this chapbook and tour here, including a link to where to find it and read it for yourself, online.
Next month’s tour will start mid-April. Don’t miss it!

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!

Don’t you just love eating!

Hi all,
Here’s my take:

Thanks for the prompt, Jilly.
I end up on the strangest tangents from your prompts. I’m glad for them.

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:

[...] 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/

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…

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!”

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
