Summary
Paper Poetry has compiled 14 previous writing prompts into a single "Déjà Vu" collection, inspiring a tanka poem by the author in response to the "Cloud" prompt.
Abstract
The "Déjà Vu at Paper Poetry" event is an initiative by Paper Poetry to bring together 14 past writing prompts, allowing poets to revisit and engage with these prompts anew. Among the participants, the author has contributed a tanka poem that reflects on the theme of clouds, which was the prompt from Week 4. The poem, accompanied by an image and art by Gina Kimmel, captures the essence of clouds as they roll in, bringing with them a sense of anticipation and transforming the sky. The author's work is a direct response to the "Cloud" prompt, which invites contemplation on whether a blue sky or rain better complements the clouds.
Opinions
rolling in without warning, marbled gray, heavy with promise, the clouds devour every inch of sky, extinguishing the light
Paper Poetry has gathered 14 of their previous prompts in one place, so that poets may participate in their Déjà Vu at Paper Poetry invitation. I wrote this tanka poem as a response to the prompt from Week 4: Cloud.
