Welcome to Wonder Wednesday, where simple notions prompt amazing poems.
Today's notion?
REFLECTION
Today's notion?
REFLECTION
 |
| World Financial Center, Battery Park NYC |
Consider the word reflection and all its varied meanings. You could write about the action of bending or folding back; or refer to the consideration of an idea or particular subject matter. A reflection can be an image mirrored back to you or an effect produced by an influence. So many angles. So many meanings. So much to reflect upon. In fact, Merriam-Webster suggests this simple word has 9 distinctly different meanings. Which inspires you?
Take this information, or one of the images I've offered up, and create a poem about reflection. Post the poem on your website, then use Mr. Linky to share it with us. Feel free to leave a comment below, and be sure to enjoy the reflective creations of your fellow poets by visiting and commenting on one another's work.

Thank You! ~Kim
Good morning, Kim.
ReplyDeleteEnjoyable prompt today. Thank you.
The fountains will make reflection hard to find in the Arboretum pool :-)
An interesting prompt, Kim! Looking forward to seeing what others write as well.
ReplyDeleteGood Morning, All! You are right, Aprille... I wondered about that while standing there. The sound, however, does promote a reflective attitude. Perhaps it is a multi-sensory prompt, this!
ReplyDeleteHi Kim! I love your view and the amazing photos :D Thank you for this unique prompt! It should create some gorgeous poetry~
ReplyDeleteHope so, Ella. Have a great and creative Wednesday!
DeleteFun, even though I did follow the prompt down a melancholy path.
ReplyDeleteMelancholy makes for good reading, too, Libby!
DeleteInteresting prompt, Kim. Thanks! I shall return!
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to it, Sherry!
DeleteOh hey Thanks a ton Kim! My own name means reflection! What a fun prompt it was for me! :)
ReplyDeleteTerrific piece, Chhavi. Hope you link here, too!
DeleteOh sure I'll keep in mind!!
DeleteSo, I just finished writing a poem and then moseyed over here to see what us Poets were up to when Lo! and Behold! my poem is a fit! That's a first. Have a wonderful day!
ReplyDeleteIt sure is! Don't forget to link up!
DeleteElla,
ReplyDeleteI hope you will be feeling better soon. Winter can be a tough time for our health. Take care and some rest as well:)
My poem was written today, with specific personal reflections back to early, unhappy years. A very recent conversation brought these words to life.
A tough, but good prompt Ella.
Best Wishes,
Eileen:)
Thank you Eileen for the well wishes! Kim is our prompter today! I have a wondrous one for next week ;D Yes, that was a hint, lol.
DeleteI do hope to join in...I'm still thinking!
Best Wishes to you :D
I am a little late to the game today--I ran my errands before the rain--Thank you Kim!
ReplyDeletePleasure, Audrey. Your piece is riveting.
DeleteIt's been a while, but I'd like to be on the blogroll again,
ReplyDeleteElizabeth
Hi Elizabeth! Welcome back-yeah!!! ;D
DeleteHope you will begin writing / linking with us again, Elizabeth. Have not seen you here in a bit.
ReplyDeletethe mister linky is already closed? it's barely Thursday. here's my poem ~
ReplyDeletehttp://myheartslovesongs.com/2013/01/09/there-is-a-place-i-used-to-go/
Not closed.
DeleteJust hidden.
Dani, I will enter your link in Mr. Linky. There is a place where you can click to see the links.
ReplyDeleteOoops, it is closed...maybe it will open later.
DeleteMary, Ella, KIm,
ReplyDeleteThere seems to be a new fault with the Linky, which sends me an email, claiming undeliverable mail. The email address is an old Yahoo address which Rob used in the early days poetsunited@ymail.com
I would be grateful if you could check out the reason for this problem linking a poem/comment to this email.
Thanks,
Eileen:)
Trying to figue it out, Eileen. UGH!
DeleteSorry for the confusion, folks. My first time using Mr. Linky. Mary has offered guidance, so this should not happen in the future!
ReplyDeleteKim, I'd probably have a meltdown if I tried to manage Mr. Linky. He sounds so playful, so benign... and then he opens his mouth and reveals tiny sharp teeth!! Muu-ha-haaaaa!
DeleteDon't sweat the small stuff. We're with you all the way! Love, Amy
Kim,
ReplyDeleteThank you for hosting the Wednesday Wonder this week:) Don't worry about the technical glitches, we all understand how it can sometimes be. Poets United contributors are a very good spirited group:)We will all be standing waiting for the next challenge!!
Good Luck Kim,
Eileen

ReplyDeleteHey, Kim, excellent prompt. I'm glad I saw this, because the subject of my poem is not only a reflective person, but his music gives way to deep reflection. Peace, Amy
