Want to participate?
Every Saturday evening, we'll post a prompt here. Then you post a poem on your blog. Then Thursday morning, come back here and find the Thursday post. Leave the PERMALINK (that is, the link to just that post, not the link to your blog itself) in the Linky widget.
Remember, prompts are Totally Optional-- if this week's prompt doesn't turn your crank, then feel free to post something else entirely.

Thanks for the prompt! I was almost too early...

Thanks for the prompt. Here's mine where I'm an ornery judge.
I wrote it in a few minutes:
mom is the word
I'm letting someone else speak as my "different voice": The Story of Adam
So I thought, just how 'different' can a voice be?
You, Human
tumblewords: I'll be back in April, but not at the beginning. It's my habit to go birding/camping this time of year, and I expect to leave next week and return mid-April. It would make me feel better if someone would show Tiel some empathy and do prompts here for a while, but I'm leaving none the less.
My choice was to express an emotion I simply cannot seem to muster...bitterness: Fairway.
Just a snapshot poem: 05 march 02008 snapshot poem
I'm still trying to find 'my voice' however, I tried to write this poem in somebody else's voice.

difficult. I wonder if anyone will be able to tell it's supposed to be a different voice? I usually link back, but I want my regular readers to see it without knowing it's supposed to be different :-)
For me, this is so different as to be foreign.
He's mine. I'm channeling T.S. Elliott.
