How did your poems progress? Did they pop with power and persuasion? Did they perk up with all the peppy P-words? Well, pony up and participate! Pull out the links to your p-p-p-poems and post them in the comments below. Personally, I am pleased as punch to see your pretty verses.
Please read this page to find out how the Get Your Poem On and Read Write Prompt posts work.
Remember that work linked from this post is shared in precisely that spirit: sharing, as opposed to critiquing.
If you haven’t done so already, please read all the pages under About in the navigation bar.
If you participate in a Read Write Prompt, we ask that you link back here in your posts, either with a link to Read Write Poem or by using the Read Write Poem badge in your post. Sidebar links are great but it helps others find the site when you link in every post you contribute to the project. It’s not a lot to ask in acknowledgment of the work everyone is doing in providing prompts for members to use.

A particularly pleasant prompt which sent me a bit peculiar… The Pies Have It
Thanks, Jessica. I had fun. Oh, all right. I got carried away. The other two are posted along with plasterform

Really enjoyed plasterform. In particular this verse, brilliant.
“Lime like bone is porous
it might suck up my prevarications
and form a shell of truth
reverse all my procrastination into hollow punctuality
and if I took my palm to that still-pliant form and pressed,
it could go flat as some white sheet of paper
or perhaps maintain some trace dimension
letting the vacant cubes of book impressions devolve
to trapezoids and parallelograms,
and globes become disk worlds with edges
drawn in plaster mache”

I like a wordle . Using all the words in the shortest verse possible is the challenge I’m setting myself.

I can’t resist a Wordle prompt:

yet perfection isn’t personified:

I’m late today. “Posthumously”
I’m not sure, I think this belongs in a children’s book. Anyway, have fun on your visit to Planet of the Peas .

I dipped into Blake, Hughes, my own old poetry, and the idea of sexuality being sacred for this one:

Hi Julie,
So far, I haven’t been able to read your poem. The link doesn’t connect for me. Is there any other way I can access it, please?

Julie, For some unknown reason my computer won’t let me open to your blog, so I can’t read the poem and leave a comment. Regrets. Thank you for leaving a comment on my blog.
Here’s mine, “Outside the First Presbyterian Church in November“. About half the Wordle p’s and a few more.
Will take me a while to visit everyone this week.
(Happy Thursday!)
Here’s my p-p-poem!

We might be a little slower than usual fishing comments out of the spam filter this morning. Please bear with us!
Alas, I didn’t manage to write to the prompt this week, but I have a weekly Torah poem to offer:

I almost didn’t make it this week, but here’s my poem: Prosaic predicament.
It was really hard for me to focus on writing a poem and not a story for this one. I started a piece about “Preston, the privately polyamorous politician” but it felt too much like funny prose. In the end, I had to make it rhyme just to make it feel like poetry to me.

My first time writing for the weekly prompt! Here’s my poem, titled “Anti Anxiety”.

Pay Attention
All you prevaricators and participators of the paranormal, put away your pernicious piffle and poisonous parallelograms. Your plethora of poetasters and phonies will no longer prevent the propagation of the pure poesy – the processional now performing will prickle your brains to partake of the popular philosophy. The posthumous peddlers of political practicality are now perceived as plaster past its prime. Their porous proclamations are pilfered propaganda from a putrid past. The new paradigm prevails!

I applaud everyone who wrote to this week’s wordle because it was a crazy-hard list of words.
Between the 5 hr. chemo for my husband and warding off my reactions to the flu shot, I was exhausted yesterday. I will attempt to visit more of you today. Humble apologies.
Here is mine using all the words
