April 30, 2017: Poetry Writing Prompt – Robert Wynne

This poetry writing prompt submitted by Robert Wynne.

Think of an experience you’ve had that left a mark on your skin.  A burn, a blister, a callous, a scab, a tattoo.  Then write three 4-line stanzas describing your flesh in that moment.  Then write one 4-line stanza revealing the cause.  Now write another 4-line stanza making up a different cause.  Read through all 20 lines, and either keep both causes (maybe add an “Or…” before the last stanza), or cut one of the causes.  Did you end up liking the real cause, or the invented cause, more, and why?

April 29, 2017: Poetry Writing Prompt – Joan Johnson

This poetry writing prompt submitted by Joan Johnson.

Warm up by reading some poems that address an object or place: for example, Frost’s “Stopping by woods on a snowy evening.. Donne’s “Go and catch a falling start…” or Owen’s : What passing -bells for these who die as cattle?” Updike’s “Player Piano:

Using Onomatapoeia, assonance, alliteration and any other poetic devices, figurative language you can utilize without forcing it, compose a poem about one of the following: A tea kettle, a colander, a field of flowers, a stone, bells in school, a barracks, a cathedral, a musical piece or the musician playing it. When finished decide the best length for your poem and shorten or lengthen it. Decide whether it “sounds” like what it describes. Decide the form for the finished poem: how many lines? Formal or blank verse? Rhymed or concrete? Shape until just right! Read it aloud. Tweak any crooked parts and take out every word that is not part of the overall sound of the poem. Read it aloud again for an audience of one or a coffeehouse full of other poets. Enjoy the process.

When I saw this picture of lifeboat ring swing in ‘Nantucket Vistas’ by Arthur P Richmond

https://www.pinterest.com/pin/544513411169950073/

thought that the everyday things are different in each place.

A swing in Nantucket is different from a swing anywhere.

Show us something unique to your place through things that all can relate to.

April 27, 2017: Poetry Writing Prompt – Erin Elizabeth Smith

This poetry writing prompt submitted by Erin Elizabeth Smith.

Use the formatting of a children’s game (Redlight/Greenlight, Red Rover, Hopscotch, Tic-Tac-Toe, Hangman, etc) as the scaffolding for a poem. This can be used for an examination of an idea, a formatting challenge, language restrictions, history, etc. For example, you could write a poem that dodges a certain element (either by eliminating words or certain thoughts) as an ode to dodgeball. Or you could construct a poem wherein it plays with the ideas of Two Truths and a Lie.

This poetry writing prompt submitted by Stacey Balkun.

Strange Faces in Actual Places

Choose a character from a story, fable, or myth. Now, place them in a contemporary setting-domestic or urban or rural. How would the Little Mermaid wash dishes? What would Napoleon order from Starbucks? Had he been a suburban teen, would Luke Skywalker work at Red Lobster? What about the grasshopper who doesn’t prepare for winter–maybe he just hops a train to New Orleans and plays fiddle on the streets for tips? Let your imagination run wildly into a poem that imagines a familiar character in an unfamiliar place (or vice versa).

April 23, 2017: Poetry Writing Prompt – Mary Sayler

This poetry writing prompt submitted by Mary Sayler.

Write an #aahcoo. This short poem rhymes with haiku and can use that form but must be an “aah” moment spoken like a dove (coo.) An aahcoo has 3 to 7 syllables on 3 to 7 lines and works well for a praise poem, a sudden insight, or a joyful moment of discovery.

April 19, 2017: Poetry Writing Prompt – Lenny DellaRocca

This poetry writing prompt submitted by Lenny DellaRocca.

What if…?

Start off with What if, and add the rest of the line with what first comes to mind- then answer that question in the next line- so-

What if my dreams were the diaries of dead people
playing out in my mind as I sleep?
I could ask the man tuning my aunt’s piano
in the supermarket about how she died
that night before I was born
her house up in flames….

And go where it leads. Next, re-write it taking out what doesn’t seem to work and add new lines and phrases to see what does work.

Keep editing as you tap into the background of the subject of the poem- in this case- the narrator’s aunt. Ask other questions that might trigger other memories that could be woven into the poem.

Use free association in those places where you might get stuck, in this case-dreams and the dead-use bizarre images and scenarios to evoke a mysterious and poetic landscape.

If the piece goes nowhere, try another What if
something from history- What if JFK had lived, What if John Lennon never met Paul McCartney? etc.

or try something from today’s news, What if all the honey bees on Earth died… etc And research that possibility to add narrative and an authoritative voice.

Once finished – tweak and trim as you would with any poem.

Unmultiplied
I disappear

April 16, 2017: Poetry Writing Prompt – Jon Wesick

This poetry writing prompt submitted by Jon Wesick.

The Assembly Line of Surprise

Step 1 – Choose a subject to write about. This should probably be something about being human such as a mental state, emotion, or social issue. Often this is abstract.

Step 2 – Choose an object to compare it to. It’s best if this is something very different than in step 1. Concrete things like machinery give good imagery. The more outrageous the better. Congratulations! You’ve just created a metaphor.

Step 3 – Make two columns on a piece of paper. List the parts of the subject step 1 in the first column and the parts of the item in step 2 in the second.

Step 4 – Map items in each column to those in the other. Choose the most interesting mappings. These will be phrases in your poem.

Step 5 – Put these phrases together into a poem.

Let’s “cook up” an example. Steps 1 and 2 – Compare despair to a microwave oven

Step 3 – Table.

Despair
Fatigue
Sleeplessness
Irritability
Emptiness
Loss of libido
Gloom
Despondency
Hopelessness
Futility
Microwave Over
Klystron
Turntable
Brwoning dish
Observation window
Contro panel
Timer
Defrost function
Auto cook menu
Number pad
Start/stop button
Tomato sauce caked on walls
Sparking when tin foil inside

Step 4 – I’d map sleeplessness to dried tomato sauce, irritability to sparking, and libido to the defrost function.

Step 5 – Put mapping into a poem.

The microwave oven of despair
cooked my dreams into a dried, unchewable mass.
Sleepless nights obsessing about the impossibility
of chiseling the dried tomato sauce of gloom from its walls.
My love life, a frozen turkey
with no defrost function.
Each minor irritation, the forbidden strip of tin foil
sparking and crackling while the timer counts down
to disaster.

April 14, 2017: Poetry Writing Prompt – Jane Glasser

This poetry writing prompt submitted by Jane Glasser.

Select an emotion ( joy, despondency, grief, boredom, anxiety, etc,) that has significance for where you are in your life right now or at some critical time in the past. Write a first person poem letting the selected emotion be the speaker. Write to discover what it’s like to be that emotion, using vivid details and metaphors. When you’re finished, examine how your poem reveals or changes your attitude to that emotion. Here’s an example:

INERTIA

You wake in my arms.
I am the gray wool
of dawn,
the dream that lingers
as you rise
sinking
from my weight.
All day
I am thick
walls of air,
mud
that sucks at your feet,
dried seeds
rattling in your head.
How you fight me,
lugging uphill
sacks of wet sand
as I steal
your breath.
At night
I am the cool earth
and the quiet stars.
Rest in my arms.

by Jane Ellen Glasser
from “Naming the Darkness”

April 13, 2017: Poetry Writing Prompt – Brendan Constantine

This poetry writing prompt submitted by Brendan Constantine.

The Opposites Game

In a funk? Nothing inspires you? Starting to resent your favorite writers? PERFECT!

Take a poem by someone else and rewrite it, saying the exact opposite of everything it describes or asserts. Where possible, structure your poem identically, line-breaks and all.

If the first poem starts, “Once upon a time…” then you might begin with “Twice under never…”  It shouldn’t take long before you encounter terms without an obvious antonym.

Go with your instincts, write what feels emotionally true.

April 12, 2017: Poetry Writing Prompt – Desmond Kon

This poetry writing prompt submitted by Desmond Kon.

Today, we get to attempt a beautiful new form, the anima methodi.

Conceived by Desmond Kon Zhicheng-Mingde and Eric Tinsay Valles, the anima methodi is a 16-lined poem, comprising two stanzas of eight lines each. The structure has been quaintly called the twofold binate octave.

Two words or phrases are repeated anywhere within the first binate octave, and the same mirroring effect (with the same or different pair of texts) is done for the second binate octave. There remains continuity across both stanzas, with the last line of the first stanza moving seamlessly “across the stanza break as dovetail” into the first line of the second stanza. The stanza break may also locate the poem”™s volta, as with the sonnet, for which, according to Phillis Levin, “the volta is the seat of its soul”.

The twofold form achieves some manner of dialectical play between both stanzas, along a theme or image or allegory or some other literary trope. The poem must also feature some meta-sensibility, in underscoring this form as contemplating “the spirit of the method”. In Jungian psychology, the anima is understood as an anthropomorphic archetype of the unconscious, the seed from which creativity manifests.

A more distinct discharge of this form is called the methodus animae, translated as “the way of the soul”, for the anima methodi that speaks of the contemplative state of mind.

Bonus #1: Write about some process you care about, like painting or calligraphy or gardening. Or putting on your Cosplay makeup.

Bonus #2: Write about something mundane, like making your morning coffee or putting on your shoes.

Bonus #3: Submit your anima methodi to squircleline@gmail.com for their upcoming anthology on the form. For submission guidelines, please see: http://www.squirclelinepress.org/anima-methodi.html

April 11, 2017: Poetry Writing Prompt – Cona Adams

This poetry writing prompt submitted by Cona Adams.

I find that if I am in a funk and need inspiration, I just need to sit down and read what I write. Because I write poetry, I often read books of poetry by others. Here is my prompt. Choose a favorite poet; read a book of poetry by that person, Write a poem inspired by that poet’s style, as a personal salute to your favorite poet.

April 6, 2017: Poetry Writing Prompt – Kathleen Ann Lawrence

“I’m Taking a Mulligan”

Most of us have had the experience of wanting to revise something we’ve said or change one of our reactions, select a different path, make an alternate decision, or just have Lady Luck deal us a different hand. Maybe you like to imagine your wedding day without the hailstorm.

In this writing exercise you have the power of gods and the ability to control oneself in a “do over” of one day in your life. Write a poem about one day in your life or a part of that day that you would do over differently if given the chance. You have the opportunity to retell the day for better or for worse. Describe how the facts and events of the day might change. Tell how the day would unfold differently.

In the poem you might want the reader to know how you would feel with this different scenario, how you might react differently, and what people and actions would change in your new day. Perhaps a deceased love one could be part of this day. Your poem could include an explanation of why this day is memorable. You as poet decide the details that are important to include in describing this “new” day and what would your “revised” reaction be.

The day you select to “do over” could be extremely important to your personal history or just one that you’d like to revisit. You can write about magnificent changes, unique alterations, special events, or the details of a small, specific interaction. You can change the weather, the era, the people involved, the color of your hair, the title of the book you were reading, the beverage you were drinking, how you said goodbye, how angry you were, and even something fantastical like the fact that you had superpowers including the ability to fly away. Whatever you’d like to change to create a poem about this new day.

April 5, 2017: Poetry Writing Prompt – Laurel Ann Bogen

Write a poem about your father as a boy or your mother as a girl. I use this prompt with my students because even those with bad relationships with their family will be forced to see them in a new light. John Keats called it Negative Capability: when a poet enters into the experience and existence of some thing/body of another.

April 4, 2017: Poetry Writing Prompt – Hiram Larew

As well it should be, so much of poetry is focused on what we’ve experienced, seen, felt, encountered or otherwise lived. So much is based on the personal.

But, there’s all sorts of wonder and power in writing about what we can’t be and/or what we will never feel.

Write a short poem about what, for example, a lake must feel, a stone believed, a road sign will see, or a gust smells. Take yourself out of you, and describe what it would be like to be something else entirely.

April 2, 2017: Poetry Writing Prompt – Elizabeth Alford

“A child can ask questions that a wise man cannot answer.” ~ unknown

Insight often walks hand-in-hand with age and experience, but there is something to be said for the crumbs of wisdom that fall from the mouths of babes (particularly at snack time). So say it! Write a poem from the perspective of a child. It could be yourself at a young age, your own child, or even one completely made up. Write what you know of the world; this could be anything from your immediate surroundings to global issues. Ask questions about things or situations you do not understand, and offer solutions to these problems while maintaining the childlike persona. Use simple language as needed for the sake of realism, but resist the urge to be overly simplistic in your assessment(s).
