Did you take this week’s prompt literally? Were you transported to another realm? Can you tell I am trying to do a little wordplay with the word transliteral?
Everyone has been sharing such delicious tidbits in the prompt this week — I really can’t wait to see what you all came up with. So leave a link. You know you want to.

It’s not a lot to ask in acknowledgment of the work everyone is doing in providing prompts for members to use.

It’s Thursday, and time to post links to this week’s poems (or leave us your poem in the comments).
Last week’s Read Write (Word) Prompt suggested you beg, borrow or steal a few (or a lot of) words. Did you? Or did your writing come from someplace entirely different. (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.

Last week’s prompt by Matthew Zapruder invited us to explore the relationship between our individual use of language and the ways language can express itself through us. Were you able to get a sense of the tension between the particular and the absolute?
How was your work with the dictionary? What could be more fun than swimming around among words both common and strange? Let’s see what you came up with!

Did you find inspiration in the light of last week’s image? As was mentioned, for every poem written in response to the prompt, we will be donating one food item (or its cash equivalent up to $150) to Hopelink, a wonderful Seattle area organization that assists those in need.
On behalf of the Read Write Poem directors (Dana, Nathan, Deb and myself), thank you for taking the time to write and share your work during this busy holiday season, and every week. We wish you the best for the coming year!
