get your poem on #66
by Juliet Wilson
Now is the time to share all your secret lives. I really am looking forward to seeing what you’ve imagined for yourselves!
So, leave your links to your poems in the comments below. (They don’t have to be from the alternative life prompt, or from the Monday prompt. They can be anything you’ve written and posted on your blog.) Plus, do try to check out other people’s poems if you can, that way we can really share our work and build a sense of community.
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.

March 17, 2010 | 11:37 am“The new math of poetry is driven not by reader demand for great or even good poetry but by the demand of myriads of aspiring poets to experience the thrill of ‘publication.’ “
So says David Alpaugh (along with a lot of other thoughtful things) in “The New Math of Poetry,” published last month in The Chronicle of Higher Education.

- it’s a wrap: last stop on our (virtual) tour of molly gaudry’s ‘anatomy for the artist’
March 15, 2010 | 3:28 pm“I was physically drained by this poem. I understood it on my terms. If a poet’s innovative craftsmanship with form, word, sound, imagery, metaphor, can show me my own bones, then I want to read more of that poet’s work.”
Just a snippet from Wanda McCollar’s response to Molly Gaudry’s electronic chapbook, “Anatomy for the Artist.” Look for the entire post on Synecdochic Stuff and find the rest of our tour, below.
The first stop was Donna Vorreyer at her blog. Next up was Catherine Fitchett at Poetry Chook, Lawrence Gladeview at Righteous Rightings and Ren Powell at More Babel.
You can find complete information about this chapbook and tour here, including a link to where to find it and read it for yourself, online.
Next month’s tour will start mid-April. Don’t miss it!

Mine started with other lives, but went off in an unexpected direction…
alchemy of flame
I examined someone else instead of myself, and here is the poem:
http://ravenswingpoetry.com/2009/02/15/the-sun-has-spilled-upon-his-face/
G.O.P. — R.I.P.
(a reflection on the ironic life of the G.O.P. from the vantage point of history — so if on topic, a bit of a stretch)
Here’s mine:
