One December night, fluffy flakes begin to fall and dance in moonlight with mesmerizing allure, but soon, that sparkling blanket turns to slush on roads refreezes in winter chill to bring tons of angst. Notes on the Oriental Octet form of poetry ▼ |
![]() ![]() Frau Perchta convened her clan in spite of Health Department's ban. One tested positive, but lied, so they all caught the virus and died. Notes on the Little Willie form of poetry ▼ |
A yellow ribbon tied around a tree guides our thoughts to those who serve and make sacrifices without reserve. They put their lives at risk to preserve, so we offer them the thanks they deserve by displaying tributes throughout our community. In Christmas parade, yellow bows adorn Santa's sleigh, and American Legion marches in fine array. |
Gonna rock it up, gonna rip it up all around town tonight. Joint starts jumpin' as band starts playin' that good ol' rock 'n roll. My baby and I go shaggin' across gymnasium floor, up and down and all around, until band plays final song and lights go out. ******************** ![]() ![]() ![]() PROMPT: You choose the topic, but...

Our family usually flocks around Christmas smorgasbord to savor tasty food along with fond companionship, but today, such rituals cannot go on as in past with coronavirus impacting our world so much. Innovation is mandatory at this point to maintain family bonds. ******************** ![]() ![]() ![]() PROMPT: You choose the topic, but... Write a lipogram poem.

One fine day, as I was searchin' for my Muse, the Storymaster wrote some code that he could use to build a sanctuary for writers, so we could tarry and pull all-nighters, trying to light the creative fuse. The folks at Writer's Cramp will test our wits, and Stormy Lady's words will give us fits, but kansaspoet's ghost still lingers here to make it absolutely clear that quality counts in a poetry blitz. While the werewolves are howling at the moon and graveyard residents moan their gruesome tune, we'll write it all for posterity, each and every monstrosity, thanks to Storymaster's creative boon. May the goblins of gab ignite your conflagration with a gallon of pyrotechnic inspiration. May the witches brew a ton of titillation in the cauldron of your imagination. Notes ▼ |
Holiday shopping can lift our spirits with Santa Claus waiting to charm flocks of young boys and girls by gushing a jolly "Ho, ho, ho!" Bright, colorful lights on display and joyous Christmas music add a bit of flair. Holiday shopping can sap our spirits with crushing crowds rushing around, trying to find amazing gifts at discount cost and grab last in sight. Such frantic conduct will drain bank account and flood loan liability. Good luck in finding your way through that labyrinth of conflicting conditions! ************************************************************ PROMPT: You choose the topic, but...
