Month-long Poetry Prompt
Poember November
It’s all in the rhyme
Welcome to our Paper Poetry friends,
I often find myself wondering where we would be without words. Words, wonderful words. 😊
And when I wonder about words, I wonder where we would be without wordsmiths who work words into wonderful works?
Wonderful works like the ones offered for our ‘O’ is for October prompt. Please join me in an over-the-top ovation for our oh-so-outstanding poets —
🔅 Denise Darby for — Optimism 🔅 Raine Lore for — October in the Outback 🔅 Jenine "Jeni" Bsharah Baines for — Owl, an Ode 🔅 Indubala Kachhawa for — Olive — Be Like Olive 🔅 Mia Verita for — October Orbs 🔅 Dr. Fatima Imam for — Oval Wonders 🔅 Penofgold for — O Child of Love 🔅 Krystal Morgan for — Orange October 🔅 Suntonu Bhadra for — Observing Awesomeness 🔅 William J Spirdione for — O is for Orange Plastic Pumpkin Light 🔅 Selma for — Oy, The Creepy Crawlies! 🔅 Toni Crowe for — Openhearted 🔅 Carolyn F.

Oops, I’ve obviously gone way overboard with the ‘w’ and ‘o’ alliteration, haven’t I?! 😆
Let’s try some rhyme instead!
Poember November
Welcome to Poember November Sublime rhyme-time to remember romantic, tragic, cosmic, iambic words work wonders together!
Poems of any form and function as long as there’s a chime of rhyme try limerick, quatrain, or rondelet, sonnets, ballads — all ok
Internal rhyme, end of the line, rich rhyme, near rhyme — all rhyme is fine Did you see what I did then? an ‘m’ almost rhymes with an ‘n’.
Oh, and we must not forget twittles especially at this time of year It’s twittle’s 2nd anniversary! Let’s give twittles a cheer!
