Blackout – National Poetry Month April 15 2020
Today’s poetry prompt is: Let’s write a blackout poem. Here is what it is from one of the experts Austin Kleon
If you have a newpaper, magazine, something with writing, you can create a blackout poem. You could even create a collage.
Here is one I created a good while ago while at the coffee shop.
I took this and wrote a little more:
separate thinking
although different styles play
we all want something
…
The form I used was senryu. Not all people write an edited poem from their blackout and one of the beauties is to find a way to make it stand alone. Either way it is a win!
Show me your blackout poetry or just write and share! It’s all good!
And to give props to other sources: Robert Lee Brewer’s Poetic Asides
The Best Version
Looking within me
You are the best version of love
The one who sees within
Mirroring to me what you see
And as it goes
What I do
What I see
Is the best version of myself
As if I allowed myself
To be what your love sees
And with this
I can love myself
Free to be the best version of me
Today’s Prompt was to write a mirror poem. This was my response.
Mirrors – National Poetry Month April 13 2020
For today’s poetry prompt let’s try a mirror poem. This can be a reflection or perhaps something on your mind, a point of view; Are you seeing changes or seeing some things you like seeing in the mirror? So many possibilities!
Also, there is Robert Lee Brewer’s Poetic Asides and NaPoWriMo to choose from, among the many choices.
Hope you stop by and share some poetry!
Sea Kissed Roses
Days became dazed out
Nights became awakenings
Confusing matter
She lay her head down to rest
And woke up in a new land
Roses dried up at her feet
Placed there by the hermit
By the forbidden sea
The beautiful sea
