read write word #17
by Jessica Fox-Wilson
This Read Write Word post marks a special occasion. Contained in this lovely image is our 250th word that we’ve used in our prompts. That’s right, 250 words without any duplication. I think this speaks to the inventiveness of our participants, as well as the diversity of words available to us as poets. This week, Kathy helped bring us to this total. We really have participants like Kathy to thank for the bounty of words we’ve used.
To participate in this word prompt, all you need to do is incorporate as many words as you can into a new poem. (Don’t worry, we won’t count how many you use.) When you’re done, simply post a link to your poem in the comments for this post or for Thursday’s Get Your Poem On post.
If you think you’d like to help us reach 300, or heck, even 1,000, simply email us a list of your favorite words to info (at) readwritepoem (dot) org.

- obama’s first hundred days in poetry
March 6, 2010 | 8:36 amArielle Greenberg and Rachel Zucker challenged 100 poets to note the political climate of each of President Obama’s first days in office. The blogged poems have been anthologized in a work called Starting Today: 100 Poems for Obama’s First 100 Days, which will be released in April (ahem, National Poetry Month, although you can pre-order a copy at their blog site).
Read about it here. A hat tip to Rethabile Masilo who posted a link to Rachel Zucker’s poem at his blog, Poéfrika.
