  Musings from the Newly Hatched — Authority: 123
  Straight from Robert Lee Brewer’s mouth ( or typing): For today’s prompt, I want you to take the phrase “If only (blank),” replace the blank with a word or phrase, make that the title of your poem, and then, write your poem.     If only you weren’t here   The bathwater is rising. I light ...

• Nov 11 09: Rebuilding

  
  Musings from the Newly Hatched — Authority: 123
  Try as I might, I can’t think of a creative way to tell the Poetic Asides prompt each day, so here it is: write a construction poem.         Rebuilding   They strip the asphalt to expose the wood, and rip the bales of shingles free. Each nail is hammered home with the precision of a surgeon. We are the ...

• Nov 10 09: Love and Anti-Love

  
  Musings from the Newly Hatched — Authority: 123
  I had no idea how to address today’s Poetic Asides prompt ( a choice to write a love poem or an anti-love poem), so I got weird and decided to play with an alphabet poem. I listed in alphabetical order attributes associated with “anti-love” and wrote a poem with one word per line in alphabetical order. The ...

• First Draft in 30 Days.

  
  Taste of Kiwi — Authority: 472
  As a writer I’m always interested in craft books, and I’ve been meaning to pick up this particular one for a long time. The title—First Draft in 30 Days is a bit misleading because if you follow the methods prescribed you’ll end up with a very detailed outline rather than a first draft. Ms. Wiesner [...]

  Musings from the Newly Hatched — Authority: 123
  Today’s Poetic Asides prompt (I’m caught up!) is to pick a plant (any plant), make that the title of your poem, and write a poem. Plant = nature = haiku = of course.     Ivy ivy windows frame midnight’s icy moon and stars - love’s only constant

• Nov 6 09: I’ve Got It Covered

  
  Musings from the Newly Hatched — Authority: 123
  November 6th’s Poetic Asides prompt had me struggling. Robert Lee Brewer asked for a poem with (or about) someone (or something) covered. All I could think about was my large cottonwood tree’s canopy and the phrase “I’ve got it covered.”  Then I got it in my head that I wanted to do a poem that used ...

• Nov 3 09: Early Wake

  
  Musings from the Newly Hatched — Authority: 123
  Yesterday’s prompt (Two for Tuesday) was a choice to write a positive poem or a negative poem.  I spent all day in an intense strategic planning meeting with my new team (I survived the lay-offs and am now in the “learning about my new job” phase) and the evening at a team-building bowling/Italian dinner ...

• Nov 2 09: Cursive

  
  Musings from the Newly Hatched — Authority: 123
  Today’s Poetic Asides prompt is to look at something from a different angle.  Since I wrote yesterday about being a leaver, I thought I’d write from the POV of the leavee.        Cursive   Again, he pulls it from the battered suitcase. It’s not the letters, it’s the meaning, stupid . He ...

  The Woo Woo Teacup Journal — Authority: 123
  Daughter had a serious case of Writer’s Panic last evening. Writer’s Panic is three steps beyond simple Writer’s Block. If you don’t have to write, Writer’s Block can make you much more interested in cleaning the cat box and sweeping the stairs than facing the computer screen. Sure, you can mumble about ...

  Kindred Heart Writers — Authority: 114
  Braiding hair takes practice. My poor daughter, (not pictured,) sat through countless "hair-styling" sessions with me. Dont laugh, I know youve done that too. My wonderful attempts usually fell apart before the day began. But with persistence and a patient daughter, the braided tresses became wound tight with no loose ...
