Poetry Prompt 2 - ‘Birth’
July 18, 2008
When she was born, according to the late American actress Gracie Allen, she was so surprised she didn’t talk for another year and a half. Thankfully the birth of life, new adventures or friendships don’t render participants speechless in such a fashion. This week’s Poetry Prompt subject is “Birth”.
Write a poem related to this word which could, for example, include the birth of a child, the budding of a new career opportunity, a religious epiphany or the beginnings of a loving relationship or marriage. The possibilities are endless. If you have written a poem before with particular pertinence to this subject and it is online somewhere, then you may include that.
When you have completed the poem, post the direct link in the ‘auto-links’ box below and also make a comment in the comment’s section. Before or following this, take time over the coming week to visit other entries from fellow poets and add a friendly comment or two regarding what you felt about their poem. Remember, this prompt can only work and flourish if we create a dynamic community or writers and readers alike willing to make visits to other websites and blogs.
I will create a round-up of my personal favourite pieces next Thursday evening but remember, this is not a competition. If you need any help or advice, then either contact me or pose a question in the comments section and I’m sure someone will be available to give you a hand. Enjoy!
