get your poem on #49
by Dana Guthrie Martin
Did you have fun with this week’s prompt from Melissa Fondakowski of Poet with a Day Job? Did you take back language and help us look at it in a fresh way again? We want to know about how you handled “mission, echolalia.”
And of course, if you didn’t do this week’s Read Write Prompt, that’s A-OK. Just share something with the other participants, if you’d be so kind. Perhaps it was a response to Monday’s visual prompt, or perhaps something else got you going. Share. Tell.
Oh and also, do try to check out everyone else’s work if you can. It will really help the community foster that community vibe, and it will surely expose you to some cool work.
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!”

I have one for Echolalia
and one for the image prompt, Retrospective
here’s mine. Can’t wait to wake up tomorrow and read everybody’s!
for nathan’s readwriteimage
#21
Here’s my contribution for the week. It was based on Melissa’s prompt. But somehow I completely and totally veered off and ended up not really doing the prompt at all. I am sorry, Melissa! I tried. Truly.
Operant Conditioning
Thanks for the prompt, I used to see this guy on Lime Street every time I went to Liverpool.
The Liverpool Echo for the ECHOLALIA prompt.

This was inspired more by Melissa’s description of the assignment than the assignment itself, with various other sources of inspiration tossed into the mix as well…
The Tao of Dow
One for the image prompt, thanks Nathan.

I combined both the visual and word prompts this week in a political satire poem called “Taller in person”. Depending how closely you follow the American election and world economics will reveal the layers in the poem.
This is my offering: http://disorder1313.wordpress.com/2008/10/21/negatives
I wrote half a poem….

Hi all,
Here is a recycled/revised poem for the prompt.
This poem is for Image #

Here is my offering for the prompt:

I am being convicted of the time I don’t devote to writing poetry and taking a look at what the real reasons could be….
To the Poems I Didn’t Write Down
This is a parody, more doggerel than poetry, but some people have found it fun. I’m hoping to get it circulated before the Nov 4 election.
It’s titled “The Nomination of Sarah P.” after R.W. Service “The Cremation of Sam McGee”

My little offering.
For “echolalia” I repost this one, which I have erroneously linked on the prompt post:

thank you

I think what this image made me feel is pretty evident in my writing.

For Melissa’s prompt. The image… I dunno about that one. (not whether what I wrote is applicable, because it isn’t, but whether I will be inspired by it or not.)
Modal “echolalia”
using the definition, vesus the word itself…

You can skip the narrative -the poem is in italics.

These days I’m mostly prompted and inspired by politics.
Where’s My Personal Shopper?
For the echolalia prompt I wrote
Narcissus falls in love:

I kind of complete it without much effort!
echoes reverbate
Hi, I’m a little late. I just got the inspiration to write a while a go, while listening to Michelle Obama’s speech in Ohio. She provided me with the perfect tie in between the word echolalia and the current state of our world. although I responded in the poem on a personal level, the poem is my attempt at a political type statement. Thanks for the prompt!
