here is a poem for the prompt “curio”
I found this spam message in my Typewriter Poetry inbox. So, I turned it into a prompt: “IM me on Yahoo Msngr it’s important. my username is deborahmeliarr121377″
As I was digging through my files, I found this little orphaned poem. I think the prompt was about “snowy owls.”
It was very nice of Rebecca-Jayne, owner of the blog Detrimentally Disgruntled, to recommend Typewriter Poetry for a Versatile Blogger Award. And Antonio, owner of the art blog Scratch & Color, nominated me for the Liebster Award. Thanks to both of you!
In tune with the tradition, here are seven reveals about me personally, as well as a few other blogs I’d like to nominate…
I wrote this for Jude at Occupy LA. She was very interesting. I’m pretty sure her prompt was “kitties” and that she told me a story about how they passed away. But it was loud so I guess we’ll never know.
This was typed for Bill at Occupy LA.
prompt: To use the line, “when was the last time you thought of me, unexpected as if in a dream”
A guy named Donald wrote this for me while I was typing poems for people at Occupy LA.
Howdy all. For some reason, I’ve been getting a lot of hits for this blog. Hooray! I’m glad you like it.
I just wanted to update everyone to why I’m currently not pounding out any poems on my typewriter.
I’ve been working on my novel. I plan to finish a rough draft by the end of November. Using NaNoWriMo as my carrot and stick to help keep my deadlines organized, find friends, get inspiration, etc.
Are you writing a novel this November? Feel free to add me, or check out my writing blog. You can also send me a poetry prompt (don’t forget your name, if you don’t want it to be anonymous). Until then, I’ll see you in December :)
I wrote this to showcase what happens in the 1 to 5 seconds when I first talk to a stranger when they hesitate near me and my typewriter.
prompt: “That moment of excitement when you’re so passionate about what your talking about that you have no choice but to scream, squeal or just fall down dead.”
I loved this prompt because I know exactly what you mean, so I hope this does it justice.
prompt: “Chocolate Milk :0)”
It’s kind of funny that this one is a little sad, seeing as the prompt was from my childhood best friend…a friendship I have happy memories of
prompt: “a rose”
This is another poem that was made for Liz. The prompt here was “mortician.” You can see this picture and more on the Typewriter Poetry Facebook page.
This poem was made for Liz, who requested “trees.” She was kind enough to post the picture to the Typewriter Poetry Facebook page.
I really love how the frame is perfect for this poem! It makes me happy knowing that some of these poems are being sent off to nice homes :)
