Today’s optional prompt asks you, like Alice Notley, to think about your own inspirations and forebears (whether literary or otherwise). Specifically, I challenge you today to write a poem that deals with the poems, poets, and other people who inspired you to write poems. These could be poems/poets/poepl that you strive to be like, or even poems, poets, and people that you strive not to be like. There are as many ways to go with this prompt as there are ways to be inspired.

Ezra Loomis Pound
when a storm hits our home
the sudden force makes us panic
no preparation yet lots of quick reaction
emily Schmidly
who cares about owen and ella?
only if frank eaton pays attention
only if sarah gore makes a decision
ronald green
a guy often fears no fly
a flying umbrella lands on his lawn
the sky rains frogs to lake Minn
