• Scavenger Poems

  • • murisopsis  is promoting National Poetry Month...I'm going to do this, you should too

    April is National Poetry Month and since Leah is no longer on xanga I’ve had to come up with a Scavenger Hunt on my own. The rules are simple, write one poem a day using any form your heart desires using the prompts listed below (there are 30 days in April so there are 30 prompts). And of course you have to post the poem on your Xanga blog. It’s Easy Peasy. Although there are no prizes, everyone that plays along is a winner! Now you don’t have to be a Poet Laureate to play. In fact writing poetry is kind of like anything – you have to do it to get better. So here is your chance to get into the groove of poetry writing in a non-judgemental forum. Xanga is filled with folks that even though they may not love poetry, they do love their fellow xangans and will give you the support and positive feedback that every budding poet needs. So let’s put our poetry out there!!

    1. Simple
    2. Home town
    3. Believe
    4. Extraordinary
    5. Tiny miracles
    6. Celestial Jerusalem

    10. Encouragement
    11. Snowbirds
