This was a great prompt, worked much better for me than I expected it to! Thanks Christine! I used Anne Michael’s Fugitive Pieces for the inspiration andmy poem is here, on my Alter Ego blog: http://foundcraftygreenart.blogspot.com/2007/12/refugee.html
I took words from Perfect Match by Jodi Picoult. My verse was not intended to be short review. However, it is.
better judgement
My first week ~ loved the prompt! I’ve used D.H. Lawrences’ ‘The Virgin and the Gipsy’ ~ strictly speaking a novella…
My Family Name
John Berendt’s The CIty of Falling Angels was my inspiration this week.

Hi BB, and welcome to the project!
I went with Joan Dideon’s Year of Magical Thinking To Focus On What Is Not Is Not Comforting
To Kill a Mockingbird (Sorry I don’t know how to use italics in a message!) is the first novel that popped into my head. It’s one of my all time favorites. You can read mine here hopefully, if I did this link thing right!
Here’s mine, a roughdraft for sure. I’ll be back later to read!

Welcome, Tammy!
I went with words from “Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West” by Gregory Maguire. [I made my wife laugh at me when I confessed it was the first novel I found that I didn't have to dust off.]
My poem this week is called Onward and you can find it here:

Another long-line poem: Here.
I’m loving these prompts.
Just in the nick of time!
