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.
