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.

I'm going with "optional" this week and am traveling tomorrow, so I'm posting early. (and I'm glad Linda was early posting this too!)
See The Bars
wow, just when i didn't think i could write a poem for this prompt... it just kind of happened.
it has the word 'laundry' in it, that counts.

A great topic. I'm not exactly sure how to post my poem, but it is at http://kayskwips-kay.blogspot.com.
I don't know if using my url would help. Anyhow I'll send it that way too.

I've been looking for that book - 'Laundry for Dummies'...
LAUNDRY
Here's mine: Laundry
This is not about laundry, it is about friendship: Twilight Approaches.
i took a prompt from a different poetry prompt site (sorry!) but it inspired me, so here it is.
I know it's been a while, but I was in New England for a month, and then fall semester of college started. Ugh.
Enjoy!
(tips on how to do the link-y thing would be appreciated)

Lifelines for Totally Optional Prompts
Two in row
I decided to combine prompts from two sites for this one - it was great fun! Thanks for the laundry prompt - I don't think I would ever have come up with the theme on my own, but I really liked where it led me.
Of Love and Laundry
No laundry in mine but still:
blowing over that mug of coffee
Wunderwaffen: Angels in fog
Nap
Bookshelf
Still can't make link.....
