Connections













Connect the Dots



Does fighting Chaos work for you?
Do you like to take the random
and make it see a connection?
Go to the Times Best Seller list,  (or the new tunes in iTunes,
new movies, some place with unfamiliar titles) and pick three.

This is your beginning, middle, end. Or your box.  Or door.
You can use the words themselves, or some image or concept they suggest,
but write a poem that, in some way, connects the three.

When you're satisfied, post your poem on your site,
and sometime in the coming week add your URL here
with good ol' Linky.

  3. hmm. Every week, amazing prompts. It really bothers me that I have missed so many due to lack of time! I so want to find time for this one as I think it is a bit overwhelming, but sounds really challenging and fun! Can't wait to read what everyone writes.

  6. Wrote the poem almost entirely first, then looked on American Top 40 for song titles and added in 4 song titles. Great prompt idea!
