This week brings a different kind of Read Write (Word) Prompt. These words are from the first stanza of one of my favorite poet’s work. I’ll tell you who it is, and give you a link to the poem these words are derived from next week, in the Get Your Poem On post. (I know. I’m a tease. It’s from writing sexy poems this week, so don’t blame me. OK?)

Before we dive into the prompt, I should note that I am stepping away from my writing responsibilities here at Read Write Poem due to increased responsibilities in my day job. I am deeply thankful to the Read Write Poem community for their support of my writing.

And now for the prompt: While pondering the plenitude of pretty words that the people of the Wordle Word Bank proffered, it appeared that many of the words began with “P.” Pleased with this pleasant development, I picked through the piles, just to produce a perfectly P-themed prompt. Whew!

Do you want to play along? All you need to do is pick up your pens (or pencils) and craft a poem, including as many of these P-words as you can.  If you’re really psyched, you can add a few alliterative P-words of your own.  Then, next Thursday, pass by here to share your p-p-p-poem.  As a reminder, please reserve the comments of this post for discussion of this prompt and preserve your poem for Thursday’s Get Your Poem On post.

Poets Mark, Katie, Rallentada, Neil, James and Kathy helped to prepare our list of P-words, so you should peruse their blogs and praise their philanthropy.  If you’d like to participate in providing words, join us at the Wordle Word Bank. We can always use more words, P-related or not.

Good luck!

It’s everywhere, clogging up our email boxes, littering our precious blog comment areas, even sneaking up on us at work. The subject lines scream at us, entice us, beg us to read. If you pay attention to spam long enough, you begin to notice the language. Believe it or not, there are really interesting words hiding in our spam.

For this week’s Read Write (Word) Prompt, I invited the Wordle Word Bank group to check their spam filters and fish out the best words. Group members Liam, Nathan and Joanne provided the spammy words in this week’s image.

Now it’s your turn to play. Use as many (or as few) of the spam-inspired words to create a spam poem all your own. Then, come back here next Thursday to share your masterpiece with the rest of us. In the meantime, we can use the comments here to discuss the post.

If you want to join in the word fun, head on over to the Wordle Word Bank to donate some words. I’ll continue to post theme forums for upcoming Read Write (Word) prompts.

Happy writing!

Want to know what I love most about facilitating the monthly Read Write (Word) Prompt? Each time I sit down to review the words that my fellow poets submitted and find a real gem, I think, “We must have used that word by now. That’s such an awesome word.” I check our used words, all 301 of them as of this prompt, and learn that no, we haven’t used that perfect word yet. Then, I get to add them to the list and wait to get surprised again.

Group members James, Laura, Katie, Nubia, Michael, Kathy and Barbara helped compile this prompt’s gems, over at the Wordle Word Bank. In an added moment of synchronicity, both Michael and Nubia contributed one of these words, and I was shocked that we hadn’t used it to date.

Now I’m leaving these words to you, to include as many (or as few) as you like in a poem of your own. You can link to the fruits of your labor in the comment section of next Thursday’s Get Your Poem On post. I implore you to wait until then, so that everyone can share their work together. We’ll save the comments on this post for general chatter about the words and the prompt.

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. We also have a forum specifically for a future prompt, so check it out!

See you next week!

Welcome, one and all, to another word-obsessed writing prompt. This week’s words were collected in a novel way — through the Wordle Word Bank, a new group on the newly expanded Read Write Poem member site.

Group members Dana, Mark, Rallentanda, Katie, Jill and Nathan posted these creative words on the group’s wire. I’ve incorporated them into this week’s writing prompt.

To participate in the prompt, simply fold some (or all) of these words into an original poem of your choice. During next Thursday’s Get Your Poem On post, share your link with the group. To keep things orderly, we do ask that you wait to share your links until the Get Your Poem On post goes up. Talk all you want here about the prompt — just save your links so they are all in one place and more people will see your work (and so mass confusion won’t ensue).

If you would like to contribute words for future wordle prompts, please join us over at the Wordle Word Bank group. Every so often, I’ll post requests for different types of words, and I’ll use those words in a future Read Write (Word) Prompt.

Happy writing!

It’s that time again, to revel in our donated words and create masterpieces from their syllables. So, let’s get started! This week’s words came from generous souls Fiona, Michelle and Sam.

If you want to play along, all you need to do is use as many (or as few) of the words as you like and create your very own poem out of them. After that, you can share your brilliance in the comments Thursday’s Get Your Poem On post.

Please, please, please save your poems until then. Since this prompt will serve as our weekly prompt, we really want your poem to get as much attention as possible.

If you want to help out with the Read Write Word prompt, we can really use your words. Please send a list of your favorite words to info (at) readwritepoem (dot) org. We’d love to use them in a future prompt.

For this week’s Read Write Word prompt, we’ve got two (count ‘em) participants to thank for their word donations. Both Beth and Claudia sent us some lovely words that we’ve happily lumped into a Wordle formation. You should thank them, by the way, because this week’s prompt has some creative and odd words for your poems.

So how does this prompt work? It’s easy. You can choose as many (or as few) of Beth and Claudia’s words to infuse into a new poem. Once you’re done, you can post a link to your poem in the comments here or wait until Thursday’s Get Your Poem On post to share your work.

If you’ve got some creative or odd words that you’d like to share (or some beautiful, haunting, or whimsical words), email us a list at info (at) readwritepoem (dot) org. We can always use new words for future prompts!

(And remember that the Read Write Word and Read Write Image are now part of the regular weekly lineup of prompts we’re sharing each Friday as opposed to being separate prompts shared in addition to the Friday prompts — hence the renaming/numbering in the title of this post.)

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 would like to lend a hand (or, really, some words) in creating our next Read Write Word prompt, please email a list of your favorite words to info at readwritepoem dot org.

In the meantime, take advantage of these awesome poets’ generosity by creating a poem using as many (or as few) of these words as you like. When you’re done, you can provide a link to your piece in the comments section here or in Thursday’s Get Your Poem On post.

Happy Writing!

During my day job and my errands, any time a word tickled my fancy, I jotted it down. I found that in my daily life, I often take words for granted. There are so many strange and wonderful words out there waiting to be noticed, even if I’m in a meeting or picking up groceries.

To participate in the prompt, write a poem using as few or many of these words as you can. When you’re finished, simply post a link to your poem in the comments here or in Thursday’s Get Your Poem On post.

I hope that you will spend some time taking notice of the words around you. If you find a list that you like, send it in to us for use in a future prompt. You can send your lists to info (at) readwritepoem (dot) org.
