April
Ok. April is Poetry month. Now, I know that most of y'all here don't write poetry. But, still, it's poetry month. I think that should count for something, you know?
So. I want you to take a poem, any poem you like, and re-write it as prose. Twist it if you like. Bend it completely out of shape if you must. But make it have SOME connection to a poem in it's inception... even if it's just that they both start with the same word.
Come back here and leave in your comments a link to your piece, and to the original poem so we can ooh and ahh at your cleverness.
Yes. There will be a random drawing. No, I don't know what for yet.
Now, go.

I linked to the poem in the introduction to my piece. It's based on "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock."
Cool idea, Trista. I enjoyed it, and may play with it some more!

I chose an Emily Dickinson poem. I have the original and my version in the above link
Great Choice Trista! Really made me think! I had to go through a million (ok like 20) poems to pick one :-)

A very challenging topic - I enjoyed doing this one. I chose to select from the works of Walt Whitman, a favorite poet from college studies. I picked a poem I wasn't familiar with to avoid any preconceived images. I pasted the poem at the bottom of my post.

Nothing like the last minute, but I got it done. i will try to read the others in the next couple days. This was a hard one for me. It's a topic I think about a lot and when it came down to putting it on paper I just had too many thoughts. It was a great challenge! http://musingsonthemountain.blogspot.com/2007/04/alonecommunity.html
