You overhear a conversation. What did you hear?

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!

Forbidden Fruit

This weeks prompt is brought to you by Meghan Elizabeth Robb... the proverbial forbidden fruit. What you, friends, family or society deems forbidden.

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

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!

Forks

Tasha Here, My nomination for the poetry prompt is FORKS. Any kind will do. Have fun!

Clutter

This week's prompt is from my sister Linda. The topic is clutter.

It's time to clean the clutter from our house, a room, our mind, our spirit... anything that has accumulated clutter.

Your Unremembered Dream

You wake up suddenly in the middle of the night. Your heart is pounding. Something wonderful or horrible has just happened in a dream and it seemed so real. But it's fading. You have flashes, a couple images, but you can't quite remember how they fit together or what the dream was about.

Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to write a poem about or related to that barely remembered middle of the night screamer of a dream!
