Street Signs

Take note of the words on signs and street names you pass while driving, walking, or riding the bus. Write a poem starting with one of these words you notice.

I apologize for the delay. Waited all day for Paul Fowler to text me his prompt but he hasn't sent one. So I figured I'd just post one and if he sends one we can use his next week.

Knowledge: the final frontier

this weeks prompt comes from Paul Bole... the paragraph below is from the link that follows

Knowledge: The final frontier. 
In the deepest depths of our brain, we all hope to find a steady, informed sense of consciousnesses, and a well-developed set of personalized skills- The ideal mind. But has the internet succeeded in helping or hurting this general human goal? In other words, has the internet made us more knowledgeable, rather than simply providing us access to information?

7 lines

I love this prompt from Tad. Sorry I'm so late posting it.  Write a poem that is exactly seven lines long, and ends in a different location from where it started.
