Verse First ~ I Cried Out
Welcome to Verse First, where simple notions prompt amazing poems.
Today's notion?
I CRIED OUT
Write in the first person. Avoid cliches; eschew the ordinary. Surprise, inspire, educate, elucidate. That's it. That's all I'm giving you poet-friends. Now write me a poem. ;-)

...i most often than not write in first person... it's like as if i am in an acting workshop & i am internalizing a situation or character given to me ... smiles... thank you Kim... today, i'm venturing some time writing found poetry using poems of the great dead poets with the goal of giving my own flavour... so, for now i'm sharing a gem i found in Carl Sandburg's poem 'Fog'... smiles...
ReplyDeleteAnother great prompt... thanks, Kim.
ReplyDeletenot sure if i have done justice to this great prompt..thanks, Kim.
ReplyDeleteNice Prompt. I had to stop everything else and just do it once I read it.
ReplyDeleteGlad you are getting right to it. I am very excited to see where this leads creative minds.
ReplyDeleteAnother great prompt, Kim.
ReplyDeleteLove the prompt and love where it took me.......I cant link directly to Verse First on my page though....so I linked to P.U.
ReplyDeleteGlad you like this one, Paul and Sherry. I just posted mine as well. First writing in weeks, over here. I feel the knots in my shoulders releasing! :-)!
ReplyDeleteInteresting prompt. For some reason, my first link didn't work?
ReplyDeleteRemoved the bad link, Annell. Thanks for trying again!
DeleteKIm,
ReplyDeleteSome writing about the pain of truthful realities...I did indeed cry out....Good to express it in words.

Nice prompt, thank you Kim!
ReplyDeleteWell, I have now commented on everyone's writing...and I thank those of you who also make visits. Not an easy theme, Kim; but a REAL one.
ReplyDeleteI am just visiting today, and liked all the poetry I saw...
ReplyDeleteThe truth is, I wrote "Another Story" for Poets United, and then read the brief instructions which I had ignored: First person and all of the bursts of pleasure following. So I removed the link. But for the curious (and especially Kim), here it is: http://susanspoetry.blogspot.com/2013/08/another-story.html
ReplyDeleteI was wondering...what kind of prompt? and what should I write?.
ReplyDeleteKim...hope reached up to your expectations.
Kim..I know, this is a ridiculous poem. Just wanted to be part of this...:)
ReplyDeleteLove the contributions here. Some so intensely personal, some less so. All are terrific contributions. And Susan... amazing!
ReplyDeleteI had written my submission back in 2011. It Just so happened to fit the criteria for this challenge:) Good prompt though. I am excited to see the next on.
ReplyDeleteI want to also say that I read every submission and there is a plethora of varied talent here. Glad to be a part of this.
ReplyDeleteI didn't stick to the rule of writing in the first person, not in whole anyway, it's really hard for me..
