I have written more than one poem myself and had to choose . . .<br /><br />M.Durfee, Thank you for stopping in and enriching my life today with the "forever love" and ever growing tree . . .<br /><br />Ella, why even try to top a tree like that? I look forward to your take on this prompt that has so many entry points!<br /><br />Gloria, I think living may be a prerequisite to understanding. I'll be withholding my final statement until at least death!<br /><br />Marian, You may work off the Jane Austin first and last line I give here, or work again with one of your own poems. In general, The FIRST and LAST LINE PROMPT will at times address your own poems and quite often those of other writers. In March, I have a Charles Dickens one coming up for your pleasure.<br />After that I take a form and first line from "Simile" by M.Scott Momaday. The prompt will vary. Thank you for the question which may echo the questions of others.Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05723639294340760325noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2542041444980449672.post-41924595418614997522013-02-13T10:09:03.736-06:002013-02-13T10:09:03.736-06:00I love the prompt Susan ~
