NaPoWriMo: 30 NEW Writing Prompts for National Poetry Month 2011


24. Write a poem that has the word “love” hidden in it somewhere. But you cannot use the word “love” by itself, it must be hidden (such as in the word “glove” or in two words like “halo venom”).

OURS IS...





STRANGELOVE

Seeing the paloverde
we had to pullover
it was in the clover
with foxglove near a pond
slovenliness with beauty
and as the killdeer plover sang
we knew we found strangelove
our happiness did spillover


YOUR TURN

NaPoWriMo: 30 NEW Writing Prompts for National Poetry Month 2011



23. Write a poem where the last word of the first line begins with the first letter of your name, and the last word of the second line begins with the second letter of your name until you have spelled out your first and/or your last name.
Love a challenge so we are doing our whole name, First, middle and last... Just know that I prefer not to be called by my first name... so please do not use it when addressing me... Hope you all understand and thank you !
OURS IS....


JUDY LYNNE DODGE

Most people love their first name, Justifiably,
I however, do not and though it is Unusual
I'd rather be tied to a truck and Drug
than be called Judy, call me Yoo-hoo

Or you can just call me Lynne
that will help stop my Yattering
on about how I hate my Name
you needn't know all the Nakedness
that comes with my long Explanation

JL is my name, to me, it fits me Dandy
and though my Momma would Object
she loves the name she gave her Daughter
changing my name, she couldn't Grasp
but she has come around, Eventually



Think this sounds kind of more like a rant than a poem...LOL

Today is S





Sand sculptures on seashores

Soothing waves slapping shores
sending children screeching
sandaled feet sinking slowly
sucked down in salt waters

starving artists seeking attention
sand castles on shinning shores
sculptures slowly taking shape
sharks and surfers sharing spotlights

sunshine sparkling on sand
stylishly stunning displays
simple sweet summer days
of shimmery silvery seascapes

22. Write a poem that only has five syllables in each line. Give the poem a long title.
We'd sit on the seawall and feel the cool air off the ocean

memories of us
linger in my mind...
Our toes in the sand
the wind in our hair
seagulls in the sky
sun shining brightly...
we ran to the waves
salt on your tan skin
I kiss you so hard
we fall in the waves
laughing at ourselves
you held my hand tight
you fell to one knee
promise forever

I miss you more now
while the sun light fades
alone on the shores
where you still linger

in the seagulls cry
and the soft sea breeze
the sun melts away
in all I see you


In my mind lingers
memories of us....


YOUR TURN
ENJOY

Today is R



Rictameter

A rictameter is a nine-line poem. Each line has a specific number of syllables. The first line has two syllables. The next line has four. The next line has six. The next line has eight. The next line has ten. And we work our way down again (8,6,4,2)  The last line is the same as the first line... OURS IS...

RAMBUNCTIOUSLY

See me
Rambunctiously
engulfed in written words
fulfilling a poetic dream
to be loved for the words I've chosen
creeping into the heart of you
lingering in your mind
where only you
see me

YOUR TURN
