We put our words in, strung them together and now we get to see where it all ended up.
I can’t wait to read your poems. I’m also curious about your thoughts on the process. Was it fun? Difficult? Do you do this sort of thing all the time?
If you feel up to it, let us know how it went with a few (or more) words in the comments along with the link to your work. And, if you responded to Read Write Word #1, feel free to leave a link here for that response as well.
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.

I must say, I enjoyed doing it. Althouh I am sure, where it took me!

Yeah, a lot of words to shuffle, I found the process a bit like Suduko, but enjoyed fitting it all together, thanks for the prompt Nathan.

The great thing about the word-by-word is that it never fails to surprise. This gave me a lot of opportunities to try out new sound combinations and images. http://disorder1313.wordpress.com/2008/10/16/tatterdemalion

Nathan please forgive me and delete the previous post.
Resurfaces
(is in the form of a “parenthetical” poem, which is explained in a note below it)
Obituary for the City on the Hill
1.
Tatterdemalion memories host obscenities. Lost I , forgettable words.
2.
Slink across sacred courtyards, nobody untouched. Scream meditation. Scavenge. Jettison.
3.
Chrome artifacts remain brilliant though forgettable.
4.
Alleys of tablature. Antiquated guards scream tenuously.
5.
Villas host nobody civil. I slink.
Here is my version: (Collaborative) Read Write Poem #48
the phrase ‘lost meditations resurface’ captured me, and would not let go…
lost meditations
This is a letter poem I wrote in response to Jo Hemmant’s poem ‘close’ on her blog, http://florescence.wordpress.com/
So it’s a collaborative piece. Dave and Dana have been writing letter poems back and forth, and it’s starting to spread.
letter poem
Crazy fun! Even though I don’t think I did it right.
Here it is anyway.
unfortunately,
this appears
to be neither/nor
but it is a poem
for poetry thursday…
does that count?

I don´t have much time available for writing poetry at the moment (or reading it… sorry, will be back soon and look forward to finding out what you´ve been writing!) but seeing these mouth-watering words I couldn´t resist writing http://wordsthatsing.wordpress.com/2008/10/16/antiques/“>this poem
I wrote a letter poem in response to Christine’s letter poem. I’m working with the line-by-line. Tatterdemalion is my new favorite word, but it sounds so clunky.

Sorry folks, I left the wrong permalink earlier.
Tenously Forgettable Memories

It took a few days of processing, but I finally wrote a poem based on the Read Write Word prompt:
