get your poem on #6
by Dana Guthrie Martin
We hope those of you who signed up to collaborate had interesting experiences with that process. You might want to not only share the work you created but also talk about the process of working together. And if you didn’t collaborate with someone this week, that’s fine. You can share whatever you want, as long as it’s poetry-related.
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.
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!”

Christine and I wrote something together, and I wrote a little bit about our process here.
[...] Read Write Poem prompt this week is to do some collaborative writing. I imagine most of the posts that show up over [...]
I am going to take advantage (perhaps) of the more than one post per week rule. Today, a post more to the spirit than the letter of the prompt.
cadavre exquis
You go, Tom.
I did not collaborate with anyone. I simply can’t write poetry along with some one else.
I wrote this only a few minutes back.
spin dryer
I didn’t collaborate with anyone either, but I wrote some thoughts about collaboration with a review of a book of bilingual poetic collaboration. It’s on my Alter Ego blog at: http://foundcraftygreenart.blogspot.com/2007/12/read-write-poem-this-week-asked-us-to.html
I wrote this with Jessica, who sadly left for Christmas before we titled the poem, so for the time being I titled it Bud, Sky.
Susan and I are currently collaborating on a poem. We’re still in the beginning stages, but we’ll show off here once we get done. Holidays and all.
In the meantime, I’m linking to a poem I put up on my blog a long time ago. Hope you enjoy:

Linda and I have each posted the poem we jointly created. Feel free to check it out at either of our sites.
I also posted some reflections on doing a poetry collaboration. Thanks, Ceridwen, for the prompt.

Here’s mine, too. I tried posting it last night but my mother-in-law arrived early for our Christmas celebration.
Thank you, Ceridwen, for another prompt that made me stretch as a poet!

I like Jack’s title… and here’s the same poem on my blog.

Here’s the poem Ceridwen and I wrote, with my comments on the process. I am hooked on collaborating!

tom and i are still working away!

Fashionably late to the party, but we made it. I’ve posted the poem Carolee and I wrote and a little bit extra and I expect she will be doing the same.
i certainly apologize for the tardiness of this post… well i learned a very important thing here,, you must share a vision before you collaborate… i thought by using visual stimulation,, we have to connect somewhere…
have a look and see what you think…
