Thursday evening has once again arrived and therefore it is time for the round-up of this week’s poetry prompt which was on the subject of ‘Chance Encounters‘. I wonder if anyone has happened to meet someone special during this week from those who have entered into the prompt. The entries were as follows:
Inevitable Chance is a beautiful questioning sonnet reflecting on the possibilities of chance romance and meetings. Will love be found in the formality of an office encounter, on a friend’s sofa or in the gigantic world of cyberspace?
Mad Kane writes a limerick in celebration of her 29th Wedding Anniversary to her husband Mark. A romantic encounter on the Long Island Railroad.
Lissa’s poem conveys the magic of instant attraction amongst the crowds but one that is bound to be lost in the hustle and bustle of the rush hour.
Rio provides an exquisite haiku about the wait to bump shoulders.
Sascha Cooper has written a marvellous epic poem on the chance meeting between a beautiful barmaid and a mysterious stranger. Well worth a visit and the chance to make an acquaintance with her new blog.
Finally, Bev describes a day on a station platform amongst the crowds of strangers. A brief encounter and names are exchanged.
I would like to thank all poets who submitted their work to this week’s poetry prompt. The comments section will remain open and you can add further links at any stage. Next week’s prompt will begin tomorrow at 6pm London time. If you enjoyed your stay here and will continue to take part each week, then please spread the word about this weekly interactive poetry event. It will benefit not only myself but all of us.

Hi! Guys!
Have not come to pen anything here yet but I did go through some of the works. The Inevitable Chance is so beautiful. I don’t think I can write such phrases. Anyway, poetry is part of my interest besides writing novels and I’m trying to accomplish some area in poetry. I have written some of my poems in http://www.poetry.com and http://www.blogit.com. I will try my best to write in here in my next message.
