Prompt #57, It’s Post Your Poems Day!
Sometimes something surprising!
We Write Poems:
This week we take our inspiration from the first stanza of a Mary Oliver poem, “Sometimes”. (Read that stanza in the initial poem prompt.) Did you find some mysteries to plummet? Strange unusual faces looking out at you? Did their voices come to your ears? Something fanciful we suggested, something unexpected, a surprise to see, then arrive upon your page. Please please, time now to let the rest of us take a peek into imagination’s den. Share your poems with us now!
Don’t have a poem yet? Perhaps read a few done by others here, be inspired. There’s still plenty of time to discover a poem for yourself!
Leave the links to your poems in the comments of this post, then go visit your fellow writers’ sites and read their work. Remember to leave only positive comments in the spirit of sharing and not critiquing. We look forward to reading your poems!
Please remember to include a link with your blog poem post that links right back to here, this “Post Your Poems Day”, so that others reading your poem can also share in this community poem experience – maybe even someone new to We Write Poems!
If you are new to WWP, please be welcome to look around and read. The full prompt description you can find under “Recent Posts” on the top right of our page.

I’ve written another acrostic limerick … and it always surprises me when I manage to write one. 🙂
Here’s mine – showing a complete lack of imagination! http://vivinfrance.wordpress.com/2011/06/08/surprising-perspective/
Mine is d-a-r-k!

As you can tell, this prompt has been fruitful for me. Thank you!
A serpentdragonmanbird rose up from the mist. Thanks for the prompt!

The dragon with the serpentine tail. Nicely done Brenda. Hope you start a wordpress blog soon, because, sulk, blogger is unresponsive.
Blogger was unkind to me, too – it took me 4 goes to get my comment to stick!
Thanks Irene…and Viv. I do have a wordpress where I’m gathering stones, but I hate to move the Bozone. Maybe it’s time to retire it, and start something new. I’ll be considering titles, or moving the Bozone-decisions, decisions….

Well that’s new. Blogspot wouldn’t even respond to clicking the link to leave a comment. Poo. But now the better part…
Wonderful engaging (and briefly frustrating) poem Brenda. Frustrating only because I had in mind the precise image to go with it but could remember neither artist nor painting’s name! Luck however remembered “where”, thus eventually tracked it down. Had the good fortune to see it in person once upon a long time ago.
William Blake, pen & ink and watercolor (rather a famous image),
“The Great Red Dragon and the Woman Clothed with the Sun”.

And I’m much fond of poems written in cars, and most definitely yours!
So very vivid! Thanks.
This is a new one I buried in an old post. I hope you like it.

Here’s mine: Do You Like It? (WordPress) or Do You Like It? (Blogspot).
Not exactly to prompt, but it has been a preoccupied while since I’ve had opportunity to write, so this will need do this day.
the boy who only spoke poems
This prompt spoke to me, one might even say it grabbed me.
This is my first time participating in this challenge.

Welcome on board Christy.
I like your windy take on the prompt which took you on the brick road! (It’s impossible to comment on blogger, sulk.)
Thanks for the poem and welcome to We Write Poems. (Couldn’t get through the Blogger to leave comment on your blog.) ~neil
I don’t know what the rules are here, if there is a one poem limit or not, if so forgive me.
This prompt inspire more poetry

I’ve given up trying to comment on blogspot, it takes more time and patience than I have! The more poems to read, , the happier I am. I really enjoyed both your poems, and look forward to reading more.
Surprising what a wart can tell you about person!
A bit late, with an iffy connection, Mine is sort of about being on vacation
