Game Prompt: Voting

Tamara Woods 2 Comments

It’s been awhile since we’ve done voting on poetry, so I’m excited to see everyone coming out for their favorites. This voting is ONLY for this week. Remember to share and visit one another’s work. The poet with the highest number of votes will have their poem featured here tomorrow morning and will be entered as a submission for the upcoming magazine issue.

Our prompt this week was to use the word “game,” as the word itself or the theme of it. We had some great entries, so good luck and we’ll see you next Monday with a new prompt.

Holiday Voting

It’s almost Christmas! I know my household is in an excited tizzy over here, as I’m sure plenty of others are. The children are out of school and the tree is up and I’ve spent entirely too much money.

So reading your holiday poetry has been fun and fantastic and put me right into the spirit. Go read some awesome poetry and vote for your favorite! Only one vote this week, so use it wisely.

Also, with the upcoming holidays, we’re taking some time off to enjoy our families and vacations. You should do the same! We’ll see you again in the New Year! Happy Holidays!

We had a lot of responses this week! You all must really have enjoyed playing around with Hasty’s words. I wanted to give her a big thank you: one) for writing an amazing book of poetry, but two) for letting me use it to make a prompt.

If you haven’t checked out her book, take a moment to give it a peek, here.

And get to reading all the awesome entries this week!

Remember, voting lasts until midnight EST and the winner(s) will be featured tomorrow at 10:00am!

Thanks for a wonderful week and we’ll see you next Monday for anew prompt.

It’s that wonderful time of the week where we get to read all the fantastic work by the poets in our community and vote on our favorites! This week’s prompt got us into the mood for some chilly weather…

So grab a cup of hot chocolate, wrap up in your Snuggie (it’s totally okay if you actually own one of those), and get ready to warm yourself with words.

Remember, voting lasts until midnight EST and the winner(s) will be featured tomorrow at 10:00am!

Thanks for a wonderful week and we’ll see you next Monday for a new prompt.

This week’s prompt we got to play around with other poet’s words, sort-of giving our thank you to all those who submit for the Write for Us segment on this blog.
