Quirky Prompt 30: Dance of the Mismatched Socks
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
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!
Today’s poetry prompt is to write and ekphrastic poem. To learn about what this means you can go to this link Poetry Foundation In this case, let’s take a look at the above picture and write a poem about whatever comes to mind while you look at this. It’s an interpretation of sorts.
