10. Twitter Poetry: Top Ten Poetic Tweets

One of the things poetry and Twitter have in common (when done well) is an economy of words. Sometimes, it so happens we read a tweet and say to ourselves, “That’s poetry.” We featured a great collection of Twitter poems this month that you might enjoy.

9. Ode To Rice Krispies: Playlist and Poetry Prompt

We crackled and popped into March’s Ode them with a snappy Ode playlist and a poetry prompt to write an ode to breakfast cereal.

8. Poets and Poems: Scott Cairns’ “Idiot Psalms”

Glynn Young reviewed Scott Cairns’ new collection of poems,  Idiot Psalms: New Poems. Warm, human, with occasional flashes of dry wit, the poems range from pilgrimages and prayers to theology and even complaints.

7. Ghazal Poetry: How to Write a Ghazal & Playlist!

Our #7 spot took us back a few months to the Ghazal, poetry of longing, to our Ghazal playlist and a step-by-step How to Write a Ghazal.

6. Photo Prompts: An Ode to Home Photo Play

Once the breakfast cereal had been put away, we sent you out to write an Ode to Home, and to take a photo of a cherished spot in your home for our monthly Photo Play feature.

Read how play factors into development, and how playing with Legos, Play Doh or just a never ending ball of string might come up in your next job interview.

I used to be a claims adjuster, helping people and insurance companies make sense of loss. Now, I train other folks with ladders and tape measures to go and do likewise. Sometimes, when I’m not scaling small buildings or crunching numbers with my bare hands, I read Keats upside down. My first novel is Adjustments.
