Poetry for the Masses!

[thesilentpoet.livejournal.com]

Ideas for prompts are no open! I am especially intrigued by the theme suggestion left: "where words live". Being a librarian/archivist, for me, words are also digital content. (I'm doing a lot with digitization of archival collections, and how it all ties into information literacy right now.) So.

Theme is "where words live", but know, it is not limited to traditional format/words, but all words. Linguistics also welcome.

The writing will commence January 13, and will run through January 15. There will be perks/incentives.

Please do leave prompts. And as always, please signal boost. :)

From your prompt, "communication across deep time", I have the poem "Prank Calls". This poems features the characters from Schrodinger Heroes." I've posted it as today's freebie.

From your prompt "rare book room", I've written the poem, "Safe Room". Hunter has never bee able to explain just why he felt safe in the rare book room..."

This poem features a look into Hunter, a character from The Scholar's Mate. It is pay-what you will.
