W3 Prompt #214: Wea’ve Written Weekly

Intro

Dear friends,

Welcome to our W3 Poetry Prompt, which goes live on Wednesdays at The Skeptic’s Kaddish.

You may click here for a fuller explanation of W3; but here’s the ‘tldr’ version:

Part I

The main ingredient of W3 is a weekly poem written by a Poet of the Week (PoW), which participants read before participating in the prompt.

Part II

The second ingredient is a writing guideline (or two) provided by the PoW. Guidelines may include, but are not limited to: word counts, poetic forms, inclusion of specific words, and use of particular poetic devices.

Part III

After five days, when the prompt closes, the PoW shall select one participant’s poem as the W3 prompt for the following week, and its author becomes the next PoW.

Simple enough, right?

Kindly note: All entries for the W3 poetry prompt must be the original work of the submitting author. AI-generated poetry is not permitted.

Okie dokie ~ Let’s do this thing!

I. The prompt poem:

‘West/East Combo’ by D. Avery

fledgling imaginings flutter before they soar held safe in the sky’s open palm of dreams manifestations— discarded shells lie empty hear the robins chirp

II. Deanna’s prompt: Mother Goose Muse

For many of us, our first introduction to poetry came through nursery rhymes — those strange, playful, memorable verses we heard long before we understood what poetry even was.

For this week’s W3 challenge, you are invited to use a nursery rhyme as inspiration for an original poem. Your poem does not need to rhyme, and it may be written in any form you choose, but please try to keep it to no more than 24 lines.

You might:

  • Incorporate a nursery rhyme character into your poem — as narrator, subject, symbol, or inspiration.
  • Borrow or adapt an opening line from a nursery rhyme.
  • Simply follow the memory of a rhyme wherever it leads you.
  • Perhaps “Humpty Dumpty” becomes a poem about aging. Perhaps “Jack and Jill” becomes a memory. Perhaps one forgotten line opens an entirely unexpected door.

    If you cannot recall a favorite nursery rhyme, a list can be found on this PDF. The Poetry Foundation also has an excellent collection of nursery rhymes available online.

    III. Submit: Click on ‘Mister Linky’ below

    In order to participate and share a poem, open up this blog post, outside of the WordPress reader. At the bottom, just below these words, you will see a small rectangular graphic with the words ‘Mr Linky’. Click on that to submit.

    Submissions are open for 5 days, until Monday, June 8, 10:00 AM (GMT+2)

    Last week’s W3 poem

    This week’s W3 prompt poem (above), composed by Deanna, was written in response to last week’s W3 prompt poem, which Reena wrote:

    ‘Door shut’ by Reena Saxena

    Bang!
    Shut!
    the past shrieks
    with pain
    of being cut out

    Vai fazer um ano que fiz o post Guia definitivo para usar IAs GPT, resume a estratégia de prompts a três princípios, que, francamente, acho que bastam. Só que as empresas de IA, para criar uma mística em torno dos supostos poderes das IAs, falam em engenharia de prompt! Uuuuuhhh! O pessoal, é justo, aproveita para oferecer cursos caros e com um monte de nomes pomposos.

    Quem vai acreditar […]
