Were you inspired by last week’s Read Write Image prompt? Whether or not you wrote to the prompt, leave a link to your poem, or the poem itself, in the comments section.
April 1 marks the beginning of (Inter)National Poetry Month and the Read Write Poem NaPoWriMo Challenge. For details on the challenge, please refer to the two sticky posts on the site’s main page. If you are taking part in the challenge, leave you link for today’s NaPoWriMo poem in the comments of the NaPoWriMo #1: Shuffle a Poem post.
If you don’t want to take part in the challenge, no worries. You can participate each week as usual by leaving your link on the Thursday NaPoWriMo prompt post. This month, you can select from any of the daily, member-authored prompts for use in place of the weekly Read Write Prompt we usually provide. Whatever you do, get your poem on!
Please read this page to find out how Read Write Poem’s prompt posts work. Remember that work linked from any post this month 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.

It’s Thursday, and time to post links to the poems you wrote for us this week (or leave us your entire poem in the comments).
Did you find you favored other people’s words? Did some give you fits? (And if you wrote using some other inspiration, that’s OK, too. You never have to write to the prompt. We are not like that around here.) Whatever you did, or didn’t do, share it. And come back tomorrow for the next great prompt.

Did Zachary Schomburg’s amazing prompt help you create something completely new this week? Was it inspiring, frightening, freeing or complicating? All of the above? None of the above?
Along with your links (or your poem), you might want to say a little something about how the process worked for you this week.

How did last week’s image prompt inspire you? Did you write to it, or something else? (It’s okay if you didn’t write to prompt. We’re just glad you are here, reading and writing poetry.)
Be sure to come back tomorrow for another prompt (it’s our celebrity prompt).
