read write prompt #114: all over the map

by Deb Scott

This week’s words came from a bunch of folks who have not yet been featured word-givers: Pauline, Pamela, Natalya, Melanie B, Mark, Marian V, Marian M, Jessica, J Clark, Elizabeth and Alan all donated to the cause!

To write to this prompt, pick as many (or few) of these words as you want and write a poem using them. (Yes, you may change tense! And if these words don’t suit you, pick your own. Just write a poem.) If you want to share some of your favorite words for an upcoming Read Write (Word) Prompt, head on over to the Wordle Word Bank, in the member site and contribute in our “General Words” forum or leave them on the group wire. (Whatever is easier for you.)

Hope this week’s prompt gets you going. Come back next Thursday where you can leave a link or a poem in the comments to our Get Your Poem On post.

Deb Scott is a community director for Read Write Poem and co-manages the Read Write Poem Virtual Book Tour. She has to admit that making Wordle prompts is nearly as much fun as writing to them. Deb blogs at Stoney Moss.

    The Read Write Poem NaPoWriMo Anthology is still in production. Selection, placement, layout and copyediting are taking longer than anticipated. Thank you for your patience. I hope to have the piece completed in July. For those who have emailed asking if they can be included, the May 7 deadline for submission of work stands. Those who met that deadline will be included. Please check the post on this site listing who I received submissions from by that date. If you submitted your work by the May 7 deadline in accordance with our guidelines and your name is not listed, send an email to info (at) readwritepoem (dot) org.

On May 8, we’ll post a news item listing everyone we’ve received work from. If you submitted work and your name is not on that list, please let us know. Thanks!

    *I initially said “tomorrow,” but I meant to say “Friday.”

    It’s the final week of the Read Write Poem NaPoWriMo Challenge! Just 7 days left. With that, a reminder that Read Write Poem will culminate with the anthology featuring work from those who complete the challenge. A post with details for submitting to the anthology will be published May 1. Be sure you remove any information from the site that you want preserved — such as group content and personal messages. Those elements of the site will be removed May 1 as well. The main site will remain up as an archive.
