Poetry Fishbowl Report for Tuesday, June 9

[ysabetwordsmith.livejournal.com]

Tuesday's fishbowl started off with a spurt of prompts, followed by a gap and then several more prompts later in the evening, which I enjoyed. I started at noon and worked until 11:30 PM, for a total of 9 1/2 hours allowing for lunch and supper breaks. I wrote a total of 17 poems, mostly medium this time, plus one short and one epic. There was nothing rhymed or metered, and only one form poem, an acrostic. I did write several poems that used quatrains, couplets, or other regular stanzas. Most of the poems came from a single prompt, although a few combined prompts. This batch of poems also leaned strongly toward the humorous and whimsical, a nice change of pace from deep thought and controversy.

This month, 15 people sent prompts. There was one first-time prompter: welcome, madshutterbug. There were 44 comments including mine.

The following fishbowl poems have already been posted:

"Cats Who Fear No Evil"
"Everything I Need to Know, I Learned in the Kitchen"
"False Wishes Come True"
"In the Garden of Ouroboros"
"the moments that fill the soul"
"Washing at the Window"

This month's donors include: ellenmillion, talix18, miintikwa, minor_architect, jenny_evergreen, and janetmiles. Special thanks to first-time donor miintikwa.
