Another Open Invitation: Prompts

To repeat: you can add poems to your folder at any time, remembering (of course) that all your critique poems must come from the folder and be re-seen. Here are a few prompts you can use if you want. Keep in mind that you don't have to add poems, and if you do, you don't have to use these prompts. They're just here if you need them.

1. Read this. Write a poem about it.

2. Write a poem about this.

3. Write a sestina using the following endwords: peace, music, clash, opposing, crimson, rejoicing. (Fun fact: Ezra Pound has already done this assignment. "A" for the day, Ezra! But don't read it, lest it impede you from "mak[ing] it new"...)

4. Wall Street is crashing! Run for your lives! But before you do that, write a poem about money.

5. Write a poem in rhyming couplets. Resist narrative at all costs. Include something that looks like this.
