Has spring sprung for you? Are you making a new start on something? Or are you in the midst of autumn or a tropical storm?
Are you into NaPoWriMo madness, having been corrupted inspired by “the madwomen standing outside the supermarket door shoving poems into unsuspecting shoppers’ pockets?”
Share your poetry inspired by spring or other seasons. Or by Monday’s image prompt. Or by yesterday or today’s NaPoWriMo prompt. Or by anything at all. (We are not picky when it comes to inspiration!)
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.
Here’s mine:

I look forward to reading everyone else’s!
During walks, one notices nature speak.

Here’s my second poem. NaPoWriMo #2
hello, day 2… post from wordie prompt 13 down yonder
It is summers over here:
sweat trickles down my back
Ironically, my first NaPoWriMo poem from prompt #1 was all about spring!

There’s a new poem on my blog every day this month, so just click on my name and head on over
i didn’t see this prompt before i wrote my haiku

disregard the ramble after it. The poem is what matters.
I got inspired by my sixth graders and wrote an April Foolish poem… they begged for it, so it has regular trochaic rhythm and it rhymes. Not my usual bag, but hey.

Here’s my spring-inspired poem,
walking in a favorite place.
I’ll be gone for a few days, so if you are new, comments might get caught in my spam filter. Read you all when I come back next week.

I’m a day behind with posting, but he’s my first offering for NaPoWriMo:
NaPoWriMo #1 ~ Holy Sonnet I
When in April …
And I would like to share one for the Spring prompt (although I wrote it last week):
http://ravenswingpoetry.com/2009/04/02/to-earth/
Here’s my spring poem:
http://freckledwriter.blogspot.com/2009/03/spring.html
The poem
Used yesterday’s prompt for this one!
Here’s one for spring: Extra-Pair Copulation in the Solitary Vireo
and this one’s for the Wordle: Porcelain Corridors
Wow! Keep it up, writers.
Spring
The first subject was one of my old poems about moonlight and drifting down a river, and the second was regarding a certain large object. Enjoy!
Event Horizon
http://thinkingcities.blogspot.com/2009/04/event-horizon.html
Here is my second offering… I couldn’t think of what to write and so I wrote about not knowing what to write… right? Right. Write. Rite?
http://missionimprovisational.blogspot.com/2009/04/why-i-cant-write-poetry-today.html
thought of posting it here (as well,)
2nd poem using the words in number 13
Mine incorporates salad ingredients at least. Spring-like, no?

NaPoMo poem #1 Splendid Fool

spring dreaming….here is#2 April 2
dam…lots of poems here going on…grrrrrreat…reading some every day
A lanturne can be found at http://poet4kids@blosgspot.com
I didn’t realize but my instant poems for each day seem to following a theme of fairy tale used differently. http://heatherflor.livejournal.com/
Oddly, we had a blizzard this last weekend. So, uh, here!

Guilty conscience
Used keyhole, walls and shadow to express this idea
Haiku (and haiku-like things) for Spring
NaPoWriMo day #2!
http://statesofgracie.blogspot.com/2009/04/seasonal-temperament.html
My (sort of) seasonal poem, (a.k.a. NaPoWriMo #1)
is here, and yesterday’s NaPoWriMo effort is here.
Is it normal to hit Day Three and feel devoid of inspiration? And commitment-phobic?
This isn’t a spring poem, but I’m saving that prompt for later…
Here’s a summer snapshot of Lac De Roche.
This is my third attempt @ posting a comment so I can share my 2nd poem but it’s not working so i have my fingers crossed that it’ll work this time.
So…without further adieu…

Here’s mine for Thursday, using the “stretchy metaphor” approach:

I only see your shadow
Bad link on #46, my bad, sorry me….
I only see your shadow
Jeeves (second post), I love your poem!
http://triatriatria.wordpress.com/2009/04/02/dandelions/
I wrote this poem when I was ten. It was my first.
Spring is coming
Spring is coming
Flowers have come to life
Birds are singing
Churchbells ringing
Bowers smell of
Sweet scented spice
My poem about missing someone
I sometimes think I see your shadow darting into the kitchen
Or hear your engine roar in my ear late at night
I slept clinging to the edge of the bed
While you stretched out in an elongated ballet pose
heavyweight under marmalade fur
And when the thunder split the sky
And the wind howled through the trees
We huddled together under the big pink doona
eyes tightly shut
You were my friend and my comfort
I will miss you all the days of my life.
