Yep, Euphrates is going to do this (not like I've got anything getting in the way of my time right now, right?), and hey, sounds like a great way to dust off the ol' Livejournal and get back into the habit of posting and reading regularly right? So here we go!

2012 APRIL PAD CHALLENGE: DAY 1For today’s prompt, write a communication poem. The ( Read more... )

And yeah, I failed again this year. At least at doing poetry every day. But I DID write more, and got inspired enough to pick up a few books on form to play around with...so I'll count that as a win. AND I inspired a few friends into doing the PAD thing who wouldn't have otherwise, so it's all good. :)

( Not locking, but putting behind a cut for those uninterested in my poetic blatherings... )

Now that poem #4 has finally landed on the page, I expect I'll get all caught up tonight. :) Every now and then, one takes over for a few days, and then the dams burst. Good timing, as the RHPO3 should be home in about 2 hours or so (got the call as they were coming up on the mountains around 10am), which means when I go to bed I get to STAY THERE  ( Read more... )

This one has been writing itself ever since the day we got Prompt # 4 (a history poem) on the same day I noticed the redbuds had started blooming already. The tree by my bus stop is bursting in all it's lavender glory now, and greets me every morning. I'm always a little sad when they come this early, because they won't be there for the birthday...

Brave man, that Robert Lee Brewer... :)

2010 April PAD Challenge Day 5

For today's prompt, write a TMI poem (or too much information poem). As with all prompts, there are a number of ways to come at this one. You can make it about gossip or revealing too much personal information. You could write an information overload poem. Or...well, I'm ( Read more... )

By the time Robert got around to posting his prompt this morning, I was down for the count. :)

2010 April PAD Challenge Day 4

Back in Georgia (our illustrious leader is currently living in Atlanta)! Another late night driving. Another late post. Good news: I don't have any other road trips planned until later this month. Hooray!

For today's prompt, ( Read more... )

2010 April PAD Challenge Day 3

Posted by Robert

Sorry for the later posting time today. I was on the road until almost 4 in the morning driving up to Ohio with Tammy and 3 of my boys. So, the poetry writing this morning might not make a lot of sense, since I'm operating on less sleep.
For today's prompt, I want you to take the phrase "Partly (blank ( Read more... )

I've decided to make the prompts public, I'll just post my poems to the filter. That way anyone who wants to play can join in! As I stated in yesterday's prompt (which I'll go back and make public in a minute), I'd LOVE it if folks posted their responses to the prompts here to inspire the rest of us!

April PAD Challenge Day 1

It's time for another April Poem-A-Day Challenge. (Click here to read the guidelines.) The prompts are ready. Now, all we need to do is write the poems.

Today is day one, and for some reason the number one made me think of "One is the Loneliest Number," by Three Dog Night. That's what happens when I create prompts while ( Read more... )

Okay, so I can't win NaNoWriMo for shit. I'm just not that creative - fiction doesn't fall out of my head like it does for so many of my friends (or my mate, who was apparently exceptionally productive the other day, and there's more anach to peruse! Squee!). But poetry? Yeah, I can do that. Not to perform, not like my mate, or any of the amazing ( Read more... )
