read write image #1

Who’s ready for some visual stimulation? This is our first Read Write Image prompt, companion to our Read Write Word prompt that you may have worked on last week. We want this prompt to be as open as possible. What is your response to the image? What about this image really strikes you?

We want your writing to come from anywhere and everywhere with this. Remember, the image is a starting point. On Thursday you can come back for Get Your Poem On to leave us link to what you came up with.

(And of course, you can always leave a response Thursday to this week’s Read Write Prompt. Or you can go all out and leave links in response to both the Read Write Prompt and the Read Write Image.)

(Note: If you include this photo in your post along with your poem, make sure you credit the artist.)

    The Read Write Poem NaPoWriMo Anthology is still in production. Selection, placement, layout and copyediting are taking longer than anticipated. Thank you for your patience. I hope to have the piece completed in July. For those who have emailed asking if they can be included, the May 7 deadline for submission of work stands. Those who met that deadline will be included. Please check the post on this site listing who I received submissions from by that date. If you submitted your work by the May 7 deadline in accordance with our guidelines and your name is not listed, send an email to info (at) readwritepoem (dot) org.

    Remember that Friday* is the deadline for submitting work to the Read Write Poem NaPoWriMo Anthology. Check out the guidelines for submission in the main column (to the left). On May 8, we’ll post a news item listing everyone we’ve received work from. If you submitted work and your name is not on that list, please let us know. Thanks!

    *I initially said “tomorrow,” but I meant to say “Friday.”

    It’s the final week of the Read Write Poem NaPoWriMo Challenge! Just 7 days left. With that, a reminder that Read Write Poem will culminate with the anthology featuring work from those who complete the challenge. A post with details for submitting to the anthology will be published May 1. Be sure you remove any information from the site that you want preserved — such as group content and personal messages. Those elements of the site will be removed May 1 as well. The main site will remain up as an archive.
