would you like to?

So this isn't mine either just to be clear. Jason posted this one also and i didn't want to lose this one either. even if i don't send it in i'd still like to write about it. maybe not neccessarily a poem because i'm not really good at poems but i'd still like to write something.

writing prompts

so i added a new friend on my myspace and this is some writing prompts that he had in a bulletin. i didn't want to lose them because i thought they were really good prompts so i put them in here. these aren't my ideas and my name definately isn't jason :) i just really liked them so i wanted to put them somewhere i wouldn't lose them. . . . because i have a bad habit of doing that! when i have time i'm going to respond to them but for right now i'm just going to leave them be.

What is unique or interesting about your home town?

What does one smell, observe, hear, or fear in your town?

Who are the real natives of your town?

Where do people work in your town?

How do people entertain themselves in your town?

These are some potential writing prompts and subjects you can consider, if you would like to write a poem for my anthology about how people see America.You could write about one, or several of these examples in your poem.You can write about your home town, or the town you currently live in. And if you live or have lived in a city, you can write about a city.Towns and home towns are not the only subjects of the poems in my anthology, but they are among the subjects you can consider writing about.
