Poem-A-Day Challenge: Day 1

Writing Article

Prompt: Write an origin poem. It can be the origin of a word, person, plant, idea, etc.

METAPHORICALLY SPEAKING

Pen, pencil, paper,
notebook, Moleskine, laptop,
iPhone, quiet park, café table,
noisy bar, bathroom stall,
lower back, scarred wrist,
broken heart…

A poem is not truly alive
until it is read out loud
for someone else to feel.

2009 Poem-A-Day Challenge: The inimitable Robert Brewer — editor of Writer’s Market and Poet’s Market, and proprietor of the wonderful blog, Poetic Asides — is posting a daily prompt and I, along with numerous others, are commiting to write a poem inspired by that prompt.

Every. Day.
