Writing Prompts
Last night was my second to last session of writers group for the year. One of the prompts I provided for the writers was to write in the P.O.V. of a place using "I am..." as a nudge into the piece. I gave them about 5 minutes since it was the first piece of the night and a bit of a warm up after the holidays. I wrote along and thought I'd share today. My place was Portland, Maine, a place I have visited ...

I am dark water, November rain, statues of poets long-dead and longer forgotten. I am red and white towers, green and black mussels swimming in saffron. I'm Saturday afternoon happy hour lobster, $4 for 6 inches. I'm the slow roll of dockside walkway. I am men that smell of brine and their cracked hands and chapped lips. I'm hand-painted storefront, chipped and peeling each winter, re-coated and blister bright in May. I'm haunted brownstones, brick and board barrooms; glass-front, corner cafes where the squash soup was made this morning and the coffee is fresh because it never stops pouring. I'm fog and spray and lighthouses that keep ghosts and look for survivors. I'm the literature of Longfellow and the cry of a foghorn, long & low. I'm blue-collar, white-washed and live on salt water taffy and the meat of the sea drenched in butter.

Wednesday Writers Round Up
One to get you going (December 20, 2009 deadline) and two that allow you to take your time (ongoing).
The poems we intend to feature will be "well rounded," which means we pay equal attention to aesthetics as we do meaning. They should be tight. They should sound smooth when read aloud and demonstrate a good understanding of sonics. And they should have a profound theme or meaning which is arrived at through the combined effort of form and diction. Aside from that, we will consider any type of poem, so long as it does not go over 1 page in Microsoft Word in 12-pt Times New Roman with standard margins.
Feel free to submit between 3 and 10 previously unpublished poems to benjaminckrause@gmail.com, attached in a Word document with one poem per page. Cover letter is not required. Please include a bio of up to 100 words, including your publication history (list no more than 5 publications) if applicable and anything interesting about you. Please also put your name in the subject field of your email, along with the words "Submission" and "The Weekly Poet." Simultaneous submissions are fine and dandy; just notify us if a poem you have submitted is accepted elsewhere. No more than one submission per month please. We endeavor to reply to everyone, but if you do not follow these simple guidelines we need not show you that courtesy.
