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.

Enjoy.

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:

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:

Thanks for the fun prompt, Juliet.

I was lacking in reimagination this week, but I attempted the read write word prompt:
News of the Day
(And as a newbie around here, I’d like to just say how much I’m enjoying doing this.)

Great site! I have just gone back to trying to write poems again, having completed a serious, non-fiction book. There is nothing like poetry.
