get your poem on #47
by Juliet Wilson
Did you dig up some good dinosaur poems this week? Explore the nature of the monstrous?
Tell us. Leave us a link to your blog post in the comments below. Or leave several comments (if you have more than one link to share) if you helped children dig up a fake stegosaurus, or something remotely dinosaurous. We will be as curious as a child about anything you leave us to ponder this week. So share.
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!”

this is a 315 poem from 2002 which has fossils and a dinsaur in it; I posted it originally back on my site back in December:
http://artpredator.wordpress.com/2007/12/24/monday-poetry-train-315-experiment-aug-2-2002/

Not written for the assignment–I haven’t adjusted to the new posting schedule, and it might take a while to sync up. But this piece from the archives is definitely related to the topic, so sharing it here…

Great prompt. Here’s my take:

Despite the trackback link right above this, Remains is my endeavor to write a dinosaur poem.
Tom, dinosaur *is* a verb.
I haven’t written a poem because I’ve been consumed with thinking *about* poetry. Here are some of my thoughts:

I’ve only discovered Read Write Poem tonight and am absolutely salivating. Staying up too late, gobbling up dino-goodness everywhere. I love witnessing how everyone’s gift of words expresses itself in a different cadence, and through it feel my own words and ways expand. I’ve been hungry for a larger community of writers. So very glad I clicked on that (yes, way cool) badge with the intriguing name…
Contributions to follow. (Cross my heart.)
In glee and inspiration,
Lisa G.
