This is a prompting Blog

My intent here is to write a poem from the prompt I give to you , the reader, in hopes that it will inspire something and get others to write with me.

Help us out here, please !!



This is what I consider a place (in my mind) I would be daily, given my druthers !
I found it on one of my favorite blogs http://memoryboxcreations.blogspot.com/ written by Helena White, (a most worthy to follow blogger friend of ours.) I don't yet know where she found it but I can write eight to ten poems off the top of my head , just from what I see in this , LOVE IT !!

So rather than only Bandit and I doing it, how about we make a game of it... with you !!
Let's see... how about we do a few of our favorite prompts

1) Use these words...  Give the first word that comes to your mind, (we need five words that relate to this picture)

2) First and Last line... Give the first line you think of looking at this picture

3) Use this line... (NOT THE SAME AS #2) This is a line that can be used anywhere in the write

OK if we all do one of each that would give us a good start... Don't you think ?
OURS ARE...

1) Gnome, wonderland, sleepy, pleasure, auroral

2) Tender is the cradle

3) as the night gently sways

Well that is our take on it, hope to see you joining in too !

One Stop Poetry Form – Triolet by guest host Shan Hendry

It's funny that Dodge Writes just did this as a Prompt a few days ago, but it is so much fun we are willing to take the challenge again with OneStop.... Please join up with onestop @ http://onestoppoetry.com/ they are a wonderful source for many forms of poetry and tons of great writers ! Thank you One Stop !!

A triolet is a poem of only eight lines with a rhyme scheme abaaabab. The fourth and seventh lines are the same exact line as the first. The eighth line is the same exact line as the second.  There is an  iambic tetrameter <four stresses> or pentameter  <five stresses>,  rhythm used.


OURS IS...


while fairies dance with butterflies
in the mist of a moonlit night
fairy dust sparkles in the skies
while fairies dance with butterflies

the rhythmic pleasure that underlies
is increased with much delight
while fairies dance with butterflies
in the mist of a moonlit night


YOUR TURN

I am considering a change to try to perfect this form... revised I would write it ...


while fairies dance with butterflies
in the mist of a moonlit night
fairy dust sparkles in the skies
while fairies dance with butterflies

A rhythmic pleasure underlies
and increases with much delight
while fairies dance with butterflies
in the mist of a moonlit night


Thank you Shan for helping me with this !!

YOUR TURN
ENJOY
