Motives

From Tad:

A poem that questions motives.

Gifts, giving and given

This week's prompt is from Tasha: 

For this prompt considering the day and the season, I would like to suggest Gifts, giving, and given. What do you ive gladly? Not so gladly, what have you been given, you appreciate or do not, and finally, what are the true gifts? Please feel free to interpret as you see fit and enjoy! .

Two Prompts - you choose

Paul Fowler has given us a choice this week. We can choose either "love and war" or "my city" or for the brave you can do both prompts. Put your imaginations in gear and write away.

Can there be love and war together?  Are they mutual or opposites and cannot occupy the same space.

For my city write about the city where you live or grew up in... show us don't tell us.

White sheet

Prompt from Breanne: 

A white sheet. It can be snow, or paper or cake ... or any kind of white sheet.

Technology

From Paul Bole. 

Technology. Anything you want to say about technology, whether it's good or bad or fun or unnecessary....just anything about technology,

Historic Persona

From Linda: 

Write a poem in the voice of an historic person. Ancient history, or recent history it doesn't matter.

Happy Holidays

OMG, it's my turn for the prompt again and I forgot yesterday. But then I didn't realize this Thu is Thanksgiving until just a few days ago. I keep joking about my inability to read a calendar.

So for this week's prompt, write a holiday poem. It doesn't have to be Thanksgiving, Christmas, Yule, Hanukkah, New Years, or any of the ones coming soonest. It could be Valentine's Day or the 4th of July. Or even St. Swithin's Day, which I had always thought was St. Swiven's until I looked it up to see if it was a real holiday. My second husband Chuck always used it as sarcasm about when something would be done. Turns out it's not only a real holiday, but Jane Austen already wrote a verse about it:

St Swithin’s day if thou dost rain
For forty days it will remain
St Swithun’s day if thou be fair
For forty days ’twill rain na mair

Group Poem

“O me! O life!… of the questions of these recurring; of the endless trains of the faithless… of cities filled with the foolish; what good amid these, O me, O life?” Answer. That you are here – that life exists, and identity; that the powerful play goes on and you may contribute a verse. That the powerful play goes on and you may contribute a verse. What will your verse be? Walt Whitman

I want to try something different and see if we can write a group poem each adding our own verse. What will your verse be?

Everyone write their verse and at the end of the week I will put them all together as one poem… I’ve done this at open mic’s and it’s fun and produces some interesting poems. When you post your verse DO NOT read the other verses before or after yours. We can make comments when the poem is posted in completion. I will credit each verse to the person who wrote it. I will wait and post my verse after at least one other verse has been posted.

Guaranteed

Post courtesy of Tad. 

Guaranteed. Something guaranteed. And it can’t be love.

Beauty

This week's prompt courtesy of Tasha:

It is said that beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and so far as I can tell, this is true. So fellow poets...for this prompt, What for you constitutes beauty? What do you find beautiful, and why?

Crazy

Prompt courtesy of Paul F: 

When I Went Crazy

Two, two, two prompts in one.

From our newest contributor, Breanne, who sent two prompts and told me to choose. I never was any good at decisions so here are both of them:

1. What do you see when you look in the mirror?
2. A dark path in the woods.

Where?

From Paul Bole:

Are you where you want to be?

Something you've lost forever

This week's prompt is from Linda: 

Something you've lost forever.

A Week of Prompts

I haven't done this in a long time. Here are the next week's worth of prompts from "A Writer's Book of Days." Choose one. (Or more.)

Sep 24: Write about a door key.

Sep 25: Write about a simple pleasure.

Sep 26: Night is falling. You are not at home.

Sep 27: Write about a time the lights went out.

Sep 28: Write about a time you did something out of superstition.

Sep 29: The night won't save anyone.

Sep 30: Write about a rendezvous.

SUPER TIRED!

Victoria and I were messaging one night and I told her I had to go because I was super tired! She started calling me SUPER TIRED as a super hero name. What is your super hero name or super power? Not one already used like spiderman, or superwoman but one you made up for your own special super power or super hero name.

Tad and Victoria Proof Prompt

This is a Tad and Victoria proof prompt. Neither of us will be able to post and old poem; and I promise to write a new one.

You know the internet game where you create  phrase by letting the word suggester on your phone or tablet suggest words for you? Well, that's what this prompt is. Start with

a bit of

then enter the first letter of your first name, and let your word-suggester suggest a word, then another if necessary, till you have a usable phrase.

Then do the same with

a little bit more

followed by the first letter of your last name

Build your poem around those two phrases.

Mine are "a bit of the same problem" and "a little more recently"

Or if you don't like that one do the same with

Begin with

and

End with

Mine are "begin with this new version" and "end with respect"

So I'll be writing a poem around one or the other of these two memes.

If you don't have the sort of phone that does the word suggesting thing, Victoria will provide the phrases for you.

Recipes

Tasha wants to know your recipes. Recipe is a generic word that can be used to describe the makeup of anything: A Recipe for Happiness, or a dish : a recipe for salmon salad, or anything else where you list the ingredients. So generate a recipe for the coming week and have fun!

Fruit ripens just before the leaves begin to fall

This weeks prompt is by our newest member Paul Fowler -

You can use the line literally or figuratively. You can use the line in the poem but it isn't necessary as long as the poem implies the idea behind the line. Be imaginative and let your words flow.

Direction

From Paul 

Direction... What direction is your life heading? Or direction\used in any meaning of the word.

Orbs

From Linda:

Orbs. anything from planets to your eyeballs.

Passions and hobbies

Obviously all of us here write, whether is be a compulsion, a calling or a hobby. What else do you do for hobbies? Or do you have another passion? Write about one, whether it be rock painting, book sharing, miniatures, needlework, hiking, going to the gym, or yes, you can even write about writing.

Your Broken Hallelujah

We all have experienced a broken hallelujah at some point in our lives. It didn’t have to be about a religious awakening but it felt like one. That point in your life when something you strongly believed in shattered and you were left with broken pieces to try to put back together or find some sense among the shambles. It doesn’t have to be written in the form of the original broken hallelujah (although mine is)... just show us your broken pieces...give us your broken hallelujah.

Dancer and Tree

Dancer and Tree - Tad Richards

From Tad (drawing as well as prompt):

I decided as I drove into town today that I would base my prompt on something I saw or heard. I was going in to pick up a print that I had exhibited at a local gallery, and I thought, why not an ekphrastic poem? "An ekphrastic poem is a vivid description of a scene or, more commonly, a work of art. Through the imaginative act of narrating and reflecting on the “action” of a painting or sculpture, the poet may amplify and expand its meaning."

Joy

From Tasha: 

What brings you Joy? Happiness is different from joy, which can come from a variety of sources, and is not always connected with "something nice." Joy is a very different emotion and one it can be fun to explore.

Waking up

From Paul: Write a poem that begins with you waking up.

Who Are You?

This weeks prompt is brought to you by Linda Rivas Bole... Tell us, in a poem, who you are. What makes you uniquely you? Use adjectives to share the real you with us. 

Turn on a light

I thought this quote might make a good prompt:

But you know, happiness can be found even in the darkest of times, if one only remembers to turn on the light. - J.K. Rowling, Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban

What You Want Me To Do

From Tad:

This phrase just popped up on my screen totally out of context. "Tell me what you want me to do." So that's the prompt. I later figured out what it was. It's from my jazz book, and it's something Thelonious Monk said to Miles Davis during a recording session that almost ended in a fight.

Hello darkness my old friend

Simon and Garfunkel gave us a beautiful verse about darkness. Tell us what darkness means to you. Show us with your words if it is your friend, your enemy or a place where you disappear into until the light returns.

June

From Tasha: 

What is so rare as a day in June? Or what is rare for you? June, rarity, or the rare day? Choose what you like.

Trust issues

From Paul:

Choice:

• Who do you trust?
• Faith, patience and trust

Enter the Scene

From Linda:

Imagine a small town or village by the water, (lake, ocean, river). Go into the town or village and find a person or family and write a poem about what goes on in their life today.

Mother...

Since it's Mother's Day, a poem about mothers seems appropriate. You don't have to write about your mother, it could be motherhood in general or your being a mother, it could you know a real motherf*****r, or something that is the mother of all something.

Photo Prompt

go inside this picture and show us what you see,, feel, smell, experience. let your imagination take you on a fantastic journey.

PAD Challenge - Day 30

From Robert Lee Brewer:

For today’s prompt, take the phrase “The (blank),” replace the blank with a word or phrase, make the new phrase the title of your poem, and then, write your poem. Possible titles could include: “The Poets,” “The Good Guys,” “The Bad Guys,” “The Last Thing She Said,” and so on.

*   *   *   *   *   *   *   *   *   *   *   *   *   *   *   *   *   *   *   *   *

NOTE FROM VICTORIA: Can you believe this crappy prompt? Next year, we do our own. Well, maybe include his and then our own as a option.  And on a lighter note, WE ARE DONE!!!! Since this is Sunday we will pick up with our weekly prompts next Sunday. Do you y'all want to do a weekly "Edit session" as well, or make it part of the Sunday prompts, alternate between new and edit?

PAD Challenge - Day 29

From Robert Lee Brewer:

For today’s prompt, write a metric poem. Most of the world uses the metric system to measure things out; not so much in the States. But there are meters and liters, and the occasional millimeters. Also, poetry uses metrics (the study of meter in poetry). And metrics, in a general sense, can measure various things by a common denominator–even inches and/or teaspoons.

PAD Challenge - Day 28

From Robert Lee Brewer:

For today’s prompt, write a poem about a smell. Similar to Day 6’s prompt about writing a poem about a sound, today’s prompt involves thinking about the various good and bad smells that fill the world. Pick one smell (or a variety, I suppose), and write a poem.

PAD Challenge - Day 27

From Robert Lee Brewer:

Today is Poem in Your Pocket Day; so carry around a poem in your pocket today. Or roll like me and carry a poem in your pocket every day.

For today’s prompt, use at least 3 of the following 6 words in your poem (using a word or two in your title is fine); for extra credit, try using all 6:

• pest
• crack
• ramble
• hiccup
• wince
• festoon

PAD Challenge - Day 26

From Robert Lee Brewer:

For today’s prompt, write a regret poem. Most people regret some action they’ve taken over the years, whether it’s saying the wrong thing, making the wrong choice, or putting off something for a tomorrow that never comes. Write about your own regrets, or the regrets of others (this is a great opportunity to write a persona poem).

PAD Challenge - Day 25

From Robert Lee Brewer:

It’s time for that final two-for-Tuesday prompt of April. Regulars probably already know what the prompt is. Here are the two prompts for today:

• Write a love poem. The poem could be about lovers, but also the love of family, love between friends, or even loving your job, chocolate, or music. Or…
• Write an anti-love poem. Maybe you’re a hater; that’s fine. We’ve got the anti-love poem prompt for you.

PAD Challenge - Day 24

From Robert Lee Brewer:

For today’s prompt, write a faith poem. For some people, faith means religion. For others, faith means trusting in science and mathematics. Still others, think George Michael’s “Faith” just as some immediately conjure up Faith Hill. Regardless of where you put your faith (or don’t), today’s poem gives you an opportunity to express yourself.

That said, just a quick reminder: Be respectful of each other. It’s my one rule, and I have faith that y’all can handle it.

PAD Challenge - Day 23

From Robert Lee Brewer:

For today’s prompt, take the phrase “Last (blank),” replace the blank with a word or phrase, make the new phrase the title of your poem, and then, write your poem. Possible titles include: “Last Starfighter,” “Last Unicorn,” “Last Day of Summer,” “Last Cookie in the Cookie Jar,” and so on.

PAD Challenge - Day 22

From Robert Lee Brewer:

For today’s prompt, write a fable poem. A fable is a story that conveys a moral, usually told with animal characters.

PAD Challenge - Day 21

From Robert Lee Brewer:

For today’s prompt, pick an object (any object), make it the title of your poem, and then, write your poem. Possible titles could include: “Toothbrush,” “Rake,” “Pilot G2 Premium Gel Roller Pen,” or any number of other objective titles. Have fun with it.

PAD Challenge - Day 20

From Robert Lee Brewer:

After today, we’ll be 67% of the way through this challenge. Only 10 days to go! 

For today’s prompt, write a task poem. The task can be some glorious duty, or it can be a seemingly small and insignificant job. Or the poem can take someone to task. It’s your task to figure it out and write it.

PAD Challenge - Day 19

From Robert Lee Brewer:

For today’s prompt, write a memory poem. Pick a memory, any memory. It can be a significant event, but sometimes there are beautiful insignificant moments (that ironically are very significant–quite the paradox). Mine your memories to come up with something good today.

PAD Challenge - Day 18

From Robert Lee Brewer:

Somehow we’re already on our third Two-for-Tuesday of the month; time is flying.

Here are the two prompts for today:

• Write a life poem. The poem could be about the miracle of life, the complexity of life, the game of Life, or anything else that means life for you. Or…
• Write a death poem. For most organisms, life leads to death. So this should be as full of possibility as the life poem.

PAD Challenge - Day 17

From Robert Lee Brewer:

Today is a special day for so many reasons, but one in the poetic realm is that today is International Haiku Poetry Day. It always falls on April 17, because of National Poetry Month and the 17 syllables in many (though not all) haiku. This year is extra special because the year is ’17 as well. 

 For today’s prompt, write a dance poem. The poem can be about the process of dancing or just somehow incorporate or reference dancing in the poem. There are so many styles of dance out there and even more occasions for dancing: school dances, daddy-daughter dances, wedding dances, people who dance when they are happy, people who dance when they are sad, people who dance in large groups, and those who dance alone. And, of course, there are so who just won’t dance for anything.

---

Note from Victoria: Maybe we should make this a double challenge and do a haiku as well as the "dance" poem.

PAD Challenge - Day 16

From Robert Lee Brewer:

If we were running uphill for the first half of the challenge, we’d be running downhill from here on out. I know writing is a different process, but yeah, we’re getting through this month. Let’s keep it going!

For today’s prompt, take the phrase “(blank) System,” replace the blank with a word or phrase, make the new phrase the title of your poem, and then, write your poem. Possible titles could include: “Weather System,” “Solar System,” “Writing System,” “Ecological System,” or any number of other takes on systems.

PAD Challenge - Day 15

From Robert Lee Brewer:

We’ve officially made it to the half-way point of this challenge, which means two things: 1. I’ve got Bon Jovi’s “Living on a Prayer” song playing in my head; and 2. I should share the link to the poem finder tool for this blog (click to continue). Just use the Writer drop down to find your name and search for poems posted on the site so far (can also cross reference by year/day).

For today’s prompt, write a “one time” poem. This poem could be about a once in a lifetime experience. Or it could be about something a person wants to try just one time (good or bad). Or take it where you will–as always.

PAD Challenge - Day 14

From Robert Lee Brewer:

I never like sharing bad news, but I’m especially not fond of sharing family news. Marie Elena Good shared on Facebook that Andrea Heiberg, a member of the Poetic Asides family, died of cancer on Monday. Like so many on the street, she was an uplifting and poetic voice for so many other poets. She will be missed.

For today’s prompt, pick a popular saying and make that the title of your poem; then, write your poem. Some possible titles might include: “Blood Is Thicker Than Water,” “You Can’t Judge a Book By Its Cover,” “More Than You Can Shake a Stick At,” and so many others. Click here if you want more ideas.

PAD Challenge - Day 13

From Robert Lee Brewer:

Recently, I recorded a “selfie” poem for my publisher Press 53. Click here to watch me recite “the silence between us” from my collection Solving the World’s Problems.

For today’s prompt, write a family poem. It could be about your family, someone else’s family, a big family, a small family. It could be about one person in the family or a group picture. Your call. Just write that poem.

PAD Challenge - Day 12

From Robert Lee Brewer:

Quick comment on comments: I don’t know that this will fix all problems related to commenting, but multiple poets have confirmed that some specific words seem to be keeping their poems from posting. Once they removed the words, the poems posted. Voila! So I looked into it, and there is a banned words/symbols list–to help block common spam language like profane words and specific drug names, but also words like “nude,” “sex,” “loan,” “debt,” and “thx.” Also, some weird symbols and the term “url.” If that helps anyone, great. If not, please let me know at robert.brewer@fwmedia.com. 

For today’s prompt, write a guilty poem. The poem can be written from the perspective of someone who is (or feels) guilty, or it can be about someone (or something) else that’s guilty. But guilty of what? Cheating on a test? Or a spouse? Or a diet? Only you know, and only your poem can reveal the truth.

PAD Challenge - Day 11

From Robert Lee Brewer:

If you want to learn a little more about me, that’s easy to do. Dustin Brookshire is sharing poet profiles on his blog this month, and recently posted a profile of me. 

Today is our second Tuesday of the month, which means it’s Two-for-Tuesday day. 

Here are the two prompts for today: 

• Write a sonnet. (Click here if you need a refresher on sonnets.) I know some folks will say a writing a form is not a prompt, but I often use forms to prompt me into poems. And I know that some folks will say they hate traditional forms. Soooo, the other prompt is to… 
• Write an anti-form poem. Write about your dislike of poetic forms. Let it all out.

PAD Challenge - Day 10

From Robert Lee Brewer:

Well, we just made it in from Austin. 18 hours, but we’re back home, and the kids are all sleeping in their beds.

Yay! For today’s prompt, write a travel poem. Your poem can be about the process of traveling, planning to travel, vicariously traveling through television programs, or however else you’d like to take this prompt.

---

Note from Victoria: After today we are 1/3 of the way there!!! Wahoo!!!

PAD Challenge - Day 9

From Robert Lee Brewer:

"Well, I survived my 10K yesterday and did my final reads in Austin. Later this morning, Tammy and I will be hitting the road to drive back to Atlanta! 

 For today’s prompt, take the phrase “So (blank),” replace the blank with a word or phrase, make the new phrase the title of your poem, and then, write your poem. Possible titles could include: “So Cool,” “So Stupid,” “So Not What I Would’ve Done,” “So Sweet,” or so many other possibilities."

PAD Challenge - Day 8

From Robert Lee Brewer:

Wish me luck! I’m going to run a 10K later this morning in Austin, Texas (not affiliated with the Austin International Poetry Festival). If I go silent for Day 9, something went horribly wrong during the race. 

 For today’s prompt, write a panic poem. There are any number of things a person can panic about, including severe weather, military invasions, or what to wear to an event. And while some may be more life or death than others, that feeling of panic is just as real for a person who has to get up and speak in front of a crowd of smiling strangers as it is for a person hiding in the basement of their house as a tornado approaches.

PAD Challenge - Day 7

From Robert Lee Brewer:

It doesn’t feel like it, but we’re already a week into this year’s challenge. Poem on. 

For today’s prompt, write a discovery poem. This poem could be about making a discovery; it could be about something discovered (by someone or something else); or something you’d like to discover. I can’t wait to discover what new poems poets will create.

PAD Challenge - Day 6

From Robert Lee Brewer:

New day, new city. We’ve made it to Austin–just in time to write a new poem. 

For today’s prompt, write a poem about a sound. The poem could be about a small sound, a loud sound, a happy sound, or a creepy sound. And yes, music sounds count as well.

---

Note from Victoria: This prompt immediately brought too many songs to my mind. "... the sound of the men working on the chain gang." "the sound of silence." "stop children what's that sound?" Sometimes it's hard to sort out memory in order to create something new.

PAD Challenge - Day 5

From Robert Lee Brewer:

This is the 10th annual April Poem-A-Day Challenge. During the first one, Tammy and I had to hunt down (and pay for) Internet access in a “cyber cafe” (located in an arcade) to post the prompt and poem. Now, we’re in New Orleans (on our way to Austin for the Austin International Poetry Festival), and we have free wifi. We’ve come a long way since 2008. Now, let’s poem! 

 For today’s prompt, pick an element (like from the periodic table), make it the title of your poem (or part of the title), and then, write the poem. Anything goes from hydrogen to oganesson.

PAD Challenge - Day 4

From Robert Lee Brewer:

Today is our first Tuesday of the month. If this is your first poem-a-day rodeo, then I have a special treat for you today, because I do Two-for-Tuesday prompts for these challenges. You can write to one prompt; write to the other; or try to do both. Totally up to you.  

Here are the two prompts for today: 

• Write a beginning poem. And, of course, when something begins, it often signals something else ending. Soooo, the other prompt is to… 
• Write an ending poem. Poem about something ending.

PAD Challenge - Day 3

From Robert Lee Brewer:

I’ve found over the years that most people who can make it through three days have the stamina to keep poeming for 30. So let’s get through this together! For today’s prompt, take the phrase “(blank) of Love,” replace the blank with a word or phrase, make the new phrase the title of your poem, and then, write your poem. Possible titles could include: “Water Bottle of Love,” “Smart Phone of Love,” “Toothbrush of Love,” “Tweet of Love,” or any number of blanks of love. I actually kind of love this prompt and am surprised I’ve never done it before.

...

Note from Victoria... Thanks, RLBrewer, now I have this song stuck in my head and the only phrase I can think of is "Pompatus of Love."

PAD Challenge - Day 2

From Robert Lee Brewer's PAD Challenge:

Okay, the first day is in the books, and it was a lot of fun. But we’ve got plenty of poeming left to go.For today’s prompt, write a “not today” poem. Maybe it’s normal to give in to outside pressures, but not today. Or maybe you’re usually very disciplined in your health and wellness habits, but not today. Or maybe you struggle to write poems, but not today.

PAD Challenge - Day 1

From Robert Lee Brewer:
"Let’s get this poeming party started.

For today’s prompt, write a reminiscing poem. In my mind, this means a poem that remembers something (a moment, a relationship, etc.). The poem could be kind of nostalgic or sharing lessons learned. But for those new to these challenges, you should know that I consider these prompts open to interpretation–so if you have another take, go for it."

Spring

From Tasha:

I was thinking that Spring might be a good subject for our next prompt, however the word spring has at least 4 interpretations if not more, so I thought it might be fun to suggest we pick one or several or a combination of as many as wished for the effort. 

Ingredients

From Paul:

What do you believe about life? What is strength and what are the ingredients for happiness?

Choose one or use as many as you want.

Assonance

Most of our prompts here are for themes or subjects, and that's great, but sometimes I like to do things a little differently -- prompts that focus on process, or different ways of approaching writing. We always come back to what's in our heads and hearts, and what we care about writing about, but sometimes a process-driven prompt can take us to slightly different corners of our heads and hearts.

So here it is. Write a poem that's at least three stanzas long, and each stanza is dominated by a different vowel sound -- a different assonance. I don't mean every vowel sound has to be the same, just that if you read the poem aloud, you'd get a slightly different sense of sound from each stanza.

I'll post one that I wrote this way to give you an idea.

First Memory

From Linda:

Think back to your very first memory and write a poem around it. Your first memory comes about 3-4-5 but it's there.

Parts and Pieces

Sometimes one poem is not enough. Sometimes a poem goes on and on. Sometimes one subject can't be covered in one small poem. Have you ever written a poem that has multiple parts? If not, maybe it's time to write one. So, that's the project for the week. Write a poem that has at least THREE parts, maybe more.

For example, 13 Ways of Looking at a Blackbird by Wallace Stevens

Lies and Lyrics

Let's have some fun with lyrics. I couldn't decide between Liar, Liar for my prompt or use a line from a song so I combined them for lies and lyrics. Write a short poem, no more than 10 lines, around a lyric in a song that has the word lie or liar in it. When you have finished the poem tell us the name of the song and the singer.

example:

promises of truth
you lied straight faced while I cried
and life still goes on

song: Reason to Believe
singer: Rod Stewart

Lost and Found

From Tasha:

Being as it's Valentines Day on Tuesday I suggest Loves Lost and Loves Found,or both.

Politics

From Paul:

Politics, in any way, shape or form.

Repay the Money?

From Tad:

This is a line from a poem by my friend Halvard Johnson, that for some unknown reason triggered a creative spark in me. It's got me working on a poem. So I'll submit it as this week's prompt. Write a poem that in some way takes off from this line"

Don't you think he ought to repay the money?

Your poem does not need to actually use that line. Mine doesn't.

Magic Spell

From Linda:

Write a poem in the form of a magic spell.

NOTE: It's time for a rotation of the line up for creating poems. I put the new dates in the header above. If anyone has a problem with their date, or if someone wants to be added o the rotation, please let me know. 

Alien

Okay, so I picked a prompt to go with the poem I just wrote. LOL. But anyway:

Write about aliens. Otherworldly, illegal or maybe something that is alien to you.

Memories and feelings

We all have memories that come back to us from time to time and remind us of an event in our lives that centered around words spoken, a song, a sight, something that triggers that distant memory/ Tell us about yours.

Linda Rivas Bole, Bonnie Johnson, Tad Richards, Paul Bole, Meghan Elizabeth Robb, Abigail Rea, Mar Walker, Priscilla Tennant Herrington,  Rhoda Rogers, Marsha Corso, Paul Bole, Mary Elizabeth Langley, David Lawrence Smoth, Christa Farmer

New Year's Dance Express

From Tasha: 

Your feelings about the New Year and share any resolutions or predictions or stories in verse rhyme or whatever form you choose.
