Prompt 96: Wanderlust

Thanks to Tammie Lee of Spirit Helpers for this week's prompt, wanderlust. Her are her image and poem.

wanderlust a call from the soul

in obvious and subtle ways
our world effects natural rhythms
yearning rises
to merge with depth
opening to roam a path where energy is clear
wanderlust honors a call from the soul
a journey to sync with personal rhythms
something deep
truly vital
let the moment
the wild touch soul

It's time again to extend our list of prompts. Please send one suggestion to us in a comment on this post. We will update the schedule and post it so you can write as the spirit moves you.

Acrostic Only

Here is a long-over due post about Acrostic Only, a wonderful poetry meme hosted by One Single Impression's longstanding friend and participant, Amias.

Amias says on the blog's homepage:

I love writing Acrostic; it is a true art form. To me, it’s the only style of poetry that one can make their own. It takes time and dedication, and a good knowledge of the English language to achieve success.

I love encouraging poets in their efforts, and always hope they would put more time and thoughts into their creations. Acrostic is a poem or series of lines in which certain letters, usually the first in each line, form a name, motto, or message when read in sequence. It’s not easy to master, but it’s not impossible.

As micro-blogging and other forms of fast and easy communication become more popular, it's nice to take the time to carefully craft words in the best works of art we can offer from week to week. It's also nice to support others in the blogosphere who value craft as much as communication.

We are grateful to Amias for her poetry as well as the encouraging, thoughtful, and often challenging comments she leaves each of us. Please visit Acrostic Only and see the good work Amias fosters.

Haiku Bones

Haiku Bones is a brand-new weekly haiku meme, with prompts changing every Sunday, created by brother and sister haiku aficionados Bruce Miller and Nancy Bea Miller The meme address is: http://haikubones.blogspot.com/ The name Haiku Bones was coined by Bruce Miller; it comes from the idea that haiku are like flexible, respiring "bones" or structure, which support the poet's ideas. Both Haiku Bones creators believe that the haiku format (three lines, of approximately 5-7-5 syllables) is an admirable platform for this creative task. Haiku Bones is a sort of drop-in haiku coffeehouse. We hope haiku poets will stop in to see what's on the weekly menu, visit their haiku friends, and join in if the prompt interests them. If you have any weekly prompt words you'd like to suggest, please send them in: haikubones@yahoo.com We hope you will enjoy this new opportunity to share the pleasures of haiku! Many thanks, Bruce Miller Nancy Bea Miller http://haikubones.blogspot.com/
