All this and not ordinary
Diary of a writerbee
Through the open window
I can taste
Dawn’s nights
Sin, confess, repeat
little learner
I am lovely
With a glass of bubbly in my hand
I follow Jane’s musings
and wonder
Is bowing to Hangerfarmerpoets
a storyshucker?
It’s all about manners
Poesy plus polemics can be dangerous
Dark matter or inktuition?
The seekers’s dungeon
is an empty space
Once I was mistaken for a real poet
The well tempered bards called my bluff
#NapoWrimo Day 17. The prompt was to try to write a “social media”-style poem. Mine consists of some of the blogs I follow. The title is an ode to my friend, poet David Ellis. He is a wonderful encourager.

A #NaPoWriMo poem dedicated to me by my dear friend Angela and other notable poets – check it out here.
Wooooow VERY cool! I really like how you’ve used the blog names to make this work. I didn’t have a strategy, I just grabbed stuff I liked the look of 🙂
I really liked yours too. Nice how different such a prompt can work out.
I confess, I groaned inwardly when I read what we had to do – I really dreaded it, but I think we both did very well 🙂 YAY!
Anything without a syllable count or rhyme scheme is relatively easy for me 🙂 I wonder if I could deal with those prompts in Dutch, I never tried.
EEEEK now you have me wondering whether the formats for poetry WOULD work across different languages!
Really like the concept – got the juices flowing in all directions now who knows where this might lead.
Hey! I had a really full day (and night, yes, you’ll get to read about it soon I hope) yesterday and only see this now. I am in awe at your ingenuity!
When I saw the prompt and considered how little time I had, I simply gave up. That, added to the fact that aside from WordPress and Facebook, I don’t do social media, and that I don’t mix the two… I really didn’t see how to work through this and didn’t want to put energy into it 🙂
So I passed yesterday.
Like you, I wonder if I could make the prompts work in my native tongue, though I don’t think it would be a problem of the language in itself, but rather of my ability to write poetry in it. I’m sure other people would manage quite well, but I have high doubts about myself! Funny!
You’re not a native speaker? I’d never have guessed! What’s your native tongue, or is that not for the public eye?
No, English isn’t my native language. And I’m afraid I’ll keep you guessing as to what my mother tongue actually is 😉
I’ll keep my guesses to myself 😉
Thank you! 🙂
Okay… I see what you did there… cool
🙂 Thank you!
no… thank you…
How cool! I love it.
Thank you!
