This is your image prompt for this week. If you decide to write a poem to this image, or another one that sparks your creativity, leave a link on our Thursday Get Your Poem On post. And, since it’s April, you can also choose to leave a link right here, in the comments section.
If you’d like to include Pensiero’s photo with the poem on your blog, be sure to add a link to his photo on Flickr.
* * *
A note from “admin”: This month, since we’re all trying to write every day, we’re leaving the comments open with each prompt so you can post links to your poems as you write them. So, go ahead and write your poem, post your poem (with a link to Read Write Poem and a Read Write Poem tag, if you would) and come back to this very spot and share your link with us.
Of course, if you’re a creature of habit, you can always wait until Thursday, when we’ll have our weekly “Get Your Poem On” post. Who are we to mess around with what works for you?
And don’t forget to go read the poems of others in this wonderful writing community. We’re all in this NaPoWriMo “mess” (ha ha!) together; let’s support each other in the insanity that is writing (every day)!![]()
(Note: If you include this photo in your post along with your poem, make sure you credit the artist.)

I’m working from day four’s prompt today:
Something Blue
[...] I took this photo down one of the sides streets, leading from the temple at Asakura, on my recent visit to Japan. My daughter had spotted the little houses moving in the air. It seemed rather incongruous. I couldn’t resist using this instead of image prompt #13 at Read Write Poem. [...]
It seems that if I link my post to readwritepoem my wordpress automatically tracks back here.
