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 think you’d like to help us reach 300, or heck, even 1,000, simply email us a list of your favorite words to info (at) readwritepoem (dot) org.

It’s time again to revel in some donated words and make some poems out of them. This week’s words were given to us by Jill, with some extra ones thrown in for fun.
To play along, all you have to do is borrow some (or all) of these words and use them in a poem. Once you’re done, you can either post a link to it in the comments here or wait until Thursday’s Get Your Poem On post. That’s all there is.
If you’d like to donate some words of your own, simply email them to info (at) readwritepoem (dot) org.

Sadly, April is coming to a close. If you were participating in NaPoWriMo, you’re seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. Maybe you feel exhausted by all of the writing or perhaps you’re exhilarated by all that you’ve accomplished. Either way, you only have a few more poems to go. Why not use some of these words, supplied by Nicole, to propel you to the finish line?
It’s easy to play along with the Read Write Word prompt. Take as many (or as few) of these donated words and use them to write a poem. Once you’re done, link to the poem in the comments here or wait until Thursday’s Get Your Poem On post, if you prefer.
If you want to add to the fun, simply email a list of words to info (at) readwritepoem (dot) org and we can use them in a future prompt. Have fun!
