Please go to Prompt Number Eight and read Pearl’s comment and my reply and if you have time to comment, it would be just great. Creating prompts is not new to me but creating a challenge like this is new so your feedback here is important to me.

Have you ever heard of Brown Daddy Long Legs?

Now, write a poem about spiders.

We are on the road. We are in the lead! We are up in the air. We are down on the trail. We are in Rudersberg.

Did I mention that our caravan is the one over to the left?
Now, tell us in a poem about speed, well, driving, driving fast – something that makes us feel that our adrenalin runs high.

“The Brothers Dragonosaurus” is inviting us to a costume party!
Scroll down and find five pictures under the headline, The pictures are under “Introducing The Brighter Light”. On two of these there are the boys in great outfit.

I didn’t know that you could be dressed up like a dinosaur.
Now, tell us in a poem how you like to be dressed up or about a fancy dress outfit of yours or you might write about your favorite clothes.

Oh, Home, Sweet Home!
This is inspired by “The Yellow Ninja” from Varna in Bulgaria.

Now, tell us in a poem what you see.

Happy New Year!

I can hardly wait and hopefully the teams are ready.

Firstly a bit of help, maybe:

I have a virtual tool box when I head for writing poetry. It might help you so here it is:

http://www.rhymezone.com/
http://www.poetryarchive.org/poetryarchive/teachersHome.do
The poetry archive website has kind of dictionaries to the right so if for instance you need to know what “a sonnet” is then just press “s” and then “a sonnet” will be there and you can read the description of sonnets – and don’t worry, there will be no specific forms requested here.

If you didn’t read through the wonderful comments and links on https://inourbooks.com/2012/12/17/the-brighter-light-a-kid-adult-poeming-month-january-2013/#comments please do it. Look up the links and learn about all those places where we come from.
I, Andrea, created prompts inspired by the links – but I only went out there and took what inspired me and what inspired me was a foundation for a good team work doing poetry. So here we go.
And who are we?
We are:

“The Seasons”
“Sunshine Elves”
“The Yellow Ninja”
“The Brothers Dragonosaurus”
“The Erie Dearies”
“Icicles”
“The Sparkly Snowflakes”
“The Chain Letters”
“The Vikings”
“The Awesome Earworms”
“The Alabama Tar Heels”

– and maybe some 2 or 3 more.

Now to our first prompt:

Prompt Number One!

What are we looking at?

Steven Bay in California caught a great moment here. H.C. Andersen caught some in The Ugly Duckling.
“The Seasons” were out here, too.
What poem does this picture inspire you to write?
