Prompt #69 Formulaic 3 + (x) = Poem

 

Formulaic 3 + (x) = Poem

We Write Poems:  
Amy (who says she doesn’t “do” forms!) suggests this prompt for us.  She also calls it “odd”, but we call it wonderful!  Amy’s prompt she describes as,

    Formulaic: 3 + (x) = Poem.

Three lines, plus (one) in parentheses that informs the lines coming before it.  That’s the form for each stanza of the poem. Simple, huh!  But we love the relationship created by this “plus (one)” added line.  (It’s almost like the poem “talking” with itself!  Or that’s one take on this form at any rate.)  So enjoy, have fun with this!

Thank you to Amy Barlow Liberatore for our fine poem form prompt this week!  Read her original prompt idea and poem for a fine example with her poem posted there.

Come back next Wednesday when you see, “It’s Post Your Poems Day!” and leave a link to the poem on your blog.

Our first desire here is to encourage you to write and learn and share.    ***    When leaving comments to other’s poems, please be appreciative and encouraging. We are not a poem “critique” site (unless someone specifically asks for that).

More participants do make better soup!
