- 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!”

I was a bad person again and didn’t follow this week’s prompt. (I do like reading the prompt ideas, and I’m going to use some of them in my high school English class this fall and winter.)
http://slowreads.com/verseStayingSeats.html
Mine isn’t about light at all. Not one bit. But it has panties in it, for whatever that’s worth:
http://mygorgeoussomewhere.org/2008/07/06/read-write-poem-34/
Mine has Edison in it…does that count?!?
Now I have to go read Dana’s poem about panties which I’m sure is far more…erhm..illuminating…
http://stoneymoss.blogspot.com/2008/07/lightening-bugs.html
Here’s one from me: http://craftygreenpoet.blogspot.com/2008/07/parallel-realities.html
and a haiku too: http://craftygreenpoet.blogspot.com/2008/07/haiku.html
The light is quite wintry around here at the moment:

Enjoy.

I loved this prompt, thanks Jilly.
A dark one from me:

This one starts with light: http://disorder1313.wordpress.com/2008/07/04/city
The Light
“The light that burns twice as bright, burns half as long…”
Wrote this previously, but it fits the prompt too precisely not to post…
Star Light, Star Bright

Two Poems About Light
Here’s mine:
inner light
Part of me likes it simple as it is, though another part of me feels it’s too naive and needs lots more work!
Thanks Jill, I’m all about light and dark.

This isn’t a brand new poem (I wrote it last year), but I think it fits the week’s theme of “light”:

Here is my response! (Suddenly realised I clicked the wrong connection, so it appears in your first post as well! O well!)
