Although I haven't posted any responses to the prompts yet, I've been working/enjoying them a lot lately. <br /><br />I'm working on this one from the perspective of "personal migration". My imagery is a bit different, but the idea of migration is there-- the kind of migration that begins to happen when you realize a relationship is over. At least that's at the core of this poem. It will be up on my blog on Tuesday, and I'll link back here. :-)<br /><br />Thanks so much for consistently providing all of us with such inspiring prompts! <br /><br />val dering rojashttp://valderingrojas.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6272430209314356497.post-14409156568483625802012-09-08T11:12:48.588-04:002012-09-08T11:12:48.588-04:00As a newcomer to this blog, I have to say how much...As a newcomer to this blog, I have to say how much I'm enjoying the prompts, the example poems, all the suggestions for writing, and the comments posted by readers.
