Poetry Fishbowl Report for Tuesday, February 2, 2010

[ysabetwordsmith.livejournal.com]

Our theme this month was "dreams," which proved quite popular.  Yay!  Most of the prompts came early, with a few trickling in later.  I worked from 12:15 PM to 2:15 AM, so about 12 hours allowing for breaks.  I wrote 21 poems.  There were more medium-short $10 poems than everything else combined.  There were plenty of form poems, particularly sonnets, a rondeau and something similar, an indriso, a double-ballad, etc.  The topic seemed to lend itself well to rhyme and meter.  I also wrote an extra poem today.  Many of the poems used two or more prompts this time, so I went through the first round pretty fast and was able to double back and re-use favorite prompts or more than one prompt by a given person. 

( Egad, look at all these fish! )
