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.

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.

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:

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.

For the echolalia prompt I wrote

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!
