Greetings, my dearest Toads! Day 10 of 30… can you believe it? Neither can I. There is poetry everywhere. I find it almost overwhelming. Even, if unlike many of you, I’m not participating in every April
prompt. I just don’t think my bones would be able to keep up. Still, I’ve been enjoying the poetic
torrent to no end. I hope the same is true for all of you.
The linked words are the titles of 3 of my poems. Your piece doesn’t need to be directly related to the 3 poems you choose to use. But if you want to add that extra challenge, then write with it!
Today, I wish us to create poetry into which we weave the
titles of 3 of our own poems. Here is a very short example:
After months

my memories afire,

April
isn’t looking all that spring(y) in NYC… It’s snowing right now.
Please,
link a new poem to Mr. Linky, below. Visit other Toads. The links will
remain live, so we’ll have plenty of time to read everyone’s poetic yum. Don’t
forget to have a total blast!

Hey everyone,
Its a beautiful Sunday morning here :D sharing my poem "Aspiration" which has been inspired from three of the chosen titles from my poems ( Faith, Palm of her hand, Transition) hope you guys like it. :D
Thank you Magaly for the wonderful opportunity!!
Lots of love,
Sanaa
10 days of poetry writing has been an inspiration to me! Way to go, all who have kept up, and thank you for hours of reading pleasure.
Good morning on this sunny Sunday! I had already uploaded my poem on Mr Linky when I spotted the Robert Frost quote, that chimes with my poem :)
A great idea for a prompt...bringing forward other older poems we have written.
This was one of my favorite prompts. I created a new poem at poetryofthenetherworld.blogspot.com
Great prompt... loved to search back on my own titles... I will get around later tonight when I'm back.
This is a wonderful prompt, Magaly--I am having a hard time finding only three. We'll see if I can make it work.
I didn't link to my source poems; I figure just one of my poems is enough to make anyone turn off the computer and quit!
Good morning, everyone. I'm so glad to see we are generally liking the prompt. I often have fun revising earlier works, so I figure it would be nice to share the delight.
@Hedgewitch, I had the same issue. Kept on changing my mind, too... which let to my writing of several lone stanzas that are currently sleeping away. ;-)
@Fireblossom, but we're are writers--we thrive under torture. ;-D
Well, I'm about to arm myself with coffee. And then... to delight in your words, everyone. ♥
I...I kind of went nuts with the references LOL. You can stop reading when you hit three. I'll go get a less caffeinated beverage for the rest of my morning.
LOL @ writers thriving under torture!
Fantastic prompt! I listed the links to the poems used, but I am with Fireblossom, they are for reference not torture. lol
Love love LOVED this prompt. And I love how so many of you linked your titles to past poems. Wish I'd thought of that. ;) Amazing words, all.
My first time participating on "toads."
I enjoyed reading the contributions.
Thank you!
Thank you!! I really appreciate the opportunity to look through some older poems...I don't ever do that!
Another conglomeration one for me. Some work better than others!
Hi Magaly--thanks for cool prompt. k.
A very interesting prompt, i laboured over this one; and it emerged (unplanned) a double response
Good Sunday
much love...
I'm so glad everybody is having as much fun. I know I've been delighting in your words--the new poems and the linked ones I've visited, too.
@Little Learner, welcome to The Garden!
Had some computer trouble while linking....the first link is NOT correct....sorry, not sure why it added that one.....the second one is the correct one for this prompt.....which was a super fun prompt......thank you :-)
