WEEKLY READ WRITE PROMPT

May 15, 2008 — The current Get Your Poem On post is here. This post is where you leave us a link to your blog in response to Blythe's prompt having something to do with mothers. Or any other poetric inspiration. We don't care, as long as you eat your vegetables.

Jill's Read Write Prompt for next week is an exercise in comparisons.



WEEKLY READ WRITE ARTICLES

May 15, 2008 — We've been wanting more read here at Read Write Poem and Juliet brings it with her review of Spoken Word Revolution Redux.

Christine has taken Informal Talk About Forms into new territory with her talk about the sonnet. Celebrate a new old form.

Christine's latest installment of Get The Lead Out is a discussion kick-off about writing groups. It's a good read. Join her conversation.

Jessica has a new Poetry Book Club report about Rae Armantrout's latest book, Next Life.



POLL DANCE

May 11, 2008 — Carolee is back at it with an interesting discussion centered on the last poll, which asks us about our self perception. There are great follow-up comments from participants, so read it...and then visit the latest poll. One column over - yeah, on the far right.



READ WRITE NaPoWriMo

Apr. 30, 2008 — Here's a recap of RWP's April 2008 support for the NaPoWriMo-er's effort(s!!).

And here's a celebration-of-your-NaPoWriMo-success button. Help yourself.



RANDOM PROMPTS

A different word or phrase will appear here each time you visit the site or refresh the page. Your current prompt is — sap



RANDOM WRITING TIP

Shhhh! Listen. Write down whatever you hear, and make note of what you don't hear. Think about writing a poem based on the sense of hearing, rather than the sense of sight.



RANDOM READING TIP

Pick up a book of poems you don't think you would be drawn to. This may seem like a silly (and not very pleasant) thing to do, but the writing could surprise you. If you really don't like it, try to determine and articulate why. In the end, you will be a stronger writer (and reader!) by knowing what you don't like and your reasons for not liking it.



RANDOM COLLABORATING TIP

Write two-word phrases with someone else. One person can supply the first word of the phrase, and the other person can supply the second word. Write your phrases down and each use some of them in a poem.
