I thought it would be fun to have a Sunday poetry share where I got to pick the themes/concepts muhahaha The themes will be totally random. This isn’t a contest and you don’t need to link to my blog (you are free to but it isn’t necessary), I just thought it would be a fun experiment. Feel free to suggest themes as well.
For our first theme go back and find a poem that is at least a year old to share (if you have anything from adolescence or childhood that would fantastic though if you are anything like me you didn’t save anything), if you don’t have an old poem pick a writer that inspires your work and write a tribute poem or attempt a poem from the perspective of your younger self.

what the heck…smiles…i went back to my early days of poetry…2009…i had maybe been writing it like 6-9 months at that point….
I started in high school but I didn’t save much. I have a book my husband made of some of my work from my early 20s but I haven’t put it on the computer. I would love to see your poetry. You are very talented!
This was fun. I actually went and dug out a poem that I wrote in my twenties that I loved and is very representative of the stuff I wrote at the time (poetry and prose). Plus, I found some notes that I made the were hilarious and informative. (I would have not have had a clue as to what it was about without the notes.) Thanks for the prompt and the laugh.
heidi scared me a bit…smiles…ha…really good stuff though heidi…
hahahaha i was scary in my twenties, Brian thanks!
sounded like fun so I went back to ’69 (which is the first year I ever tried poetry) and dug an old poem about a an old “shoetree”

Awesome ’69!
Here’s one well over a year old, not sure if the link at the bottom is still good, take care.
Thanks so much for participating! Your link works fine
I registered this blog on WordPress two years ago! Today, am revisiting old poems…reminiscing and, ahh…time did not diminish the impact (for me at least) : ) Today, two years ago, I posted more than one poems! But my favourite is this one http://amazingmetamorphosis.wordpress.com/2011/04/29/today/
Thank you for the prompt!
Thank you for participating! I will do one every Sunday so long as someone is interested lol
Do you want me to add you to Mister Linky?
oh yes, please do! what a good idea 🙂
Done I want to be sure everyone sees your wonderful submission and I am not sure if everyone reads the comments
I wrote in high school, which was decades ago. These poems are not on the computer. For a long time I was a private poet. The blogosphere definitely changed that. I do not have a poem to link today, but I like your Sunday concept.
Thanks =) Feel free to participate any Sunday and you can always write a new poem for the prompt as I mentioned you could try a tribute for a poet who inspired you or to write a poem in the perspective of your younger self or even just share a poem about a memory.
Okay, you asked for it! I don’t have any from waaaayyy back, but I’m going to dig one out from the when I began writing in ernest–early 90s–and post it. Might even pick one I think is terrible!
Oooooh those are the best lol I look forward to it =)
working on it now. It’s not even on my computer, so I have to re-type and all that good stuff!
There it is! I’ll be back this afternoon to comment on the other entries!
yay! Thanks for your fabulous contribution =)
What a fun idea! I’ll try to remember to get back here next Sunday. Thanks!
You can participate in the current one as well if you would like =) Please do come back I would love to have you!
I saved several spiral notebooks with my doodles and poems from junior high school-EEK! I’ll have to go and find them and post something (if it’s not too embarrassing!)
Ooooh I am excited! I actually forgot about it totally but now that you mention it I have one poem on here, my first ever poem from when I was 12! Thank you so much for coming btw =)
The heart is an instrument of pain
Love the heart’s sorrow
For which it beats continuously
Thank you for hosting Sunday prompts and inviting me to participate. It is truly an honor to be included. I look forward to reading everyone elses’ submissions. You asked for suggestions on prompts so, with the current prompt in mind, I thought it might also be fun for everyone to select an old poem with which they were unhappy, rewrite it at their current level of favor, then post the original and the rewrite in one post and link here commenting on the changes that were made.
Ciao

That is a good idea =) By all means feel free to do that. I will get out my old book and see if I can’t rework a poem. I think you can add as many links as you want to Mister Linky it is my first using it and I have the free version so I am not sure but feel free to add more than one submission. If there would be a restriction you can post links in the comments
Great idea! I do that all the time anyway!
=) Feel free to add as many as you want
Thanks for letting me know that this is still going on. I just linked to an old three-verse limerick I wrote about contending with writer’s block a couple of years ago.
And I just added you to my blogroll in the Poetry and Prompts section.
Oh wow thanks! Oooh I am excited to see what you have written =)
Since your comment section was closed I will tell you here. Great job your limericks are so charming. I sometimes have to take a nap and just totally reset myself lol
ah that is a fun idea.. i wrote my first poem about three years back… will go and see what i find..smiles
I would love to see your earliest work =) Only 3 years and so amazing already! What on earth have I been doing lol
Hi, thanks for your visit. I just read a few of your recent poems. They are honest and introspective. Artistic photos, too. Hope you feel better 🙂
Thank you very much =) You are more than welcome to participate in the weekly prompts, every Sunday I will post a new one!
Thank you for the visit. I happily left a link to one of my favorite posts.
