Here’s 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 pareeerica’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.)
Here’s my # 19….I didn’t use a prompt, but came up with one of my own.
Strike It Rich:

My #20, inspired by the image: http://m0nkeyboy.wordpress.com/2009/04/20/lucia/
Your prompts are always so great. I used another of her fantastic pictures because it perfectly illustrated what I wrote today.

#20 Hetty
I took me 19 days to realise that I have the Read Write Poem badge which will automatically track back here.
#20
The Bride Wore Red
Here’s #16 and # 17, inspired by two of my favourite writers:
The Exile of Jean Rhys & Love Song for Anaïs
Today I wrote steadily for 2 1/2 hours, and it felt wonderful! In doing so, I found this poem, which I wrote for prompt #8 but didn’t post. Here it is now, better late than never!

Not a very original title LOL, but I’m up and ready.

I used a different prompt. I’m only getting worse, but I haven’t bolted. Here’s mine.
For April 20th:
FRESH FODDER

Murder of Crows
NaPoWriMo #20-
ONCE UPON A RHYME
I chose a different image and finally used the Read Write Word #13 prompt:
The Passageway

Mine came of its own imagistic wonder-heap:

My NaPoMo poem #20: Spellbound
I know this is late, but I’ve been busy… I have nine poems to write today to catch up!
Hmmm… I’m going to not do this prompt.
