Call for Prompts

We again invite our participants to suggest poetry prompts so we can post them to our calendar. We like to highlight each of you and your work, so please write a poem and submit an image before the week your prompt will appear so we can post them here. You can send your work at any time. There is no need to wait until the week your prompt is scheduled.

It's a pleasure to read the work of so many good and creative people, to learn from each other, and to try new ways of writing and of looking at life itself. Thank you.

Please leave your prompt suggestions as a comment on this post.

  1. Hi...you got my "Defenses Down" prompt, right?


    -Nicole

    P.S. How far ahead should I send the poem and the image for that prompt?

  2. Nicole,
    I left a comment on your blog but also want to respond here.

    Defenses Down will be up for Sept. 7.

    Basically, we need material no later than the Friday before it's scheduled to appear. When it comes earlier, we can simply save it in draft.

  5. I might suggests two:
    1.Circles
    2.Paradox-this was actually suggested by someone else last time. I planned ahead of time, got my haikus written-then it was taken off the schedule for some reason. It was a great idea, I hope we'll get to do it this time.
