What will you come up with in response to this week’s poetry prompt? I find steps and pathways fascinating. I always wonder where they lead. I can’t wait to read your poems. I’m so impressed with the wonderful submissions that land in my in box each week in response to the prompts. A big thank you to everyone who is contributing. Don’t forget, if you’ve missed a week, you can always catch up. Send your poems to me at traffa-m@bigpond.net.au as Word or text document attachments and add a line or two about your writing process or why you write poetry for children.

Happy writing!

It’s prompt time again and because the buccaneer/broccoli one inspired so many wonderful poems I thought we’d do it again with a new set of words. Have fun and see what you come up with. I’m looking forward to reading your poems. Send them to me at traffa-m@bigpond.net.au as a Word or text document attachment and add a few lines about yourself or your writing process.

After last week’s challenging poetry prompt, I decided to make it nice and easy for you today. We were in Kensington Gardens in London when I spotted this little cutie, who obligingly stayed long enough for me to take a shot before scurrying up the nearest tree.

Thanks to everyone who has been so enthusiastically taking part in this year’s weekly poetry prompts. I am in awe of your ability to keep coming up with such wonderful poems. Please keep them coming!

Email your poems as a Word document or text file attachment to me at traffa-m@bigpond.net.au and add a few lines about why you enjoy writing poetry.

Thank you to everyone who’s been so enthusiastically taking part in this creative exercise and please keep your poems coming in. Send them to traffa-m@bigpond.net.au as a Word document attachment and add a personal note about why or how you chose to write this particular poem.
