Formally Yours
For the last challenges I wrote a different form poem for each prompt. So now I am challenging each of you to write a form poem using one of the forms I used previously. Your choices are Kyrielle, Lento, Cascade Verse, pantoum or cinquain. BUT you cannot use a form you have used a lot in the past but really challenge yourself by using a form you have never tried. If you have used all the forms I have posted then go to one of the sites listing poetry forms such as http://www.poetryfoundation.org/resources/learning/glossary-terms?gclid=CjwKEAjw7qi7BRCvsr3N58GvsTkSJAA3UzLvdjoK2Jj3Bq8-mEsvPYM3Ps_O9A6e8C7S19P85x9ERBoCjEHw_wcB and choose a form that is new to you. Have fun!

Coming and Going
Prompt from Priscilla:
Do you know this old folk song?
Well, I know where I'm goin'
And I know who's goin' with me
I know who I love,
But the dear knows who I'll marry
And I know who's goin' with me
I know who I love,
But the dear knows who I'll marry
Today’s prompt is about going – and coming. We all come from somewhere, and we’re all going somewhere. And of course, our ancestors came from somewhere, our children are going somewhere, we may wish we were somewhere else. So, write about comings or goings, or even staying in place!
