I love how you took more than one prompt and manipulated the phrases and words so that it fit in with the context of your poem. I think this is exactly what it's about -- different writers using the same words, phrases, and creating something so personal and original. And yes, these phrases have the perfect poetic appeal! Little did those spam bots know what they were getting themselves into ;) Thanks for the feedback, thanks for sharing, and congratulations on creating some beautiful writing. I'll definitely use this one again in the future! Nean: Another great poem!

I'm having too much fun with this. I took several phrases and manipulated them (modifying as necessary) into a "mash-up" of sorts this morning. I REALLY like it. Teasing words into a subtle dance for me is one of my favorite past times. Thanks for this again, Susan! http://nean-laughingatthemoon.blogspot.com/2009/05/obligation.html "Obligation" Ok… I’m having too much fun with this.

Stay tuned. :) I’m not sure why, Susan, but the poet in me is highly inspired by these lines… there may be more to come. Stay tuned. :)

I commented on your blog but would like to bring that over here as well: What a great use of the challenge prompts! I love how you took an intriguing line and created a poem, a story, around it. I especially love how you say "the kind of conspiracy/that everyone assumed/was no more than mere theory/but they would be wrong." This line is so haunting and I think really applies to human nature and our natural assumptions. It offers the feeling that there is something darker going on. For me this poem has both a sense of that something darker as well as an exposed vulnerability; I love how you capture that in just a few lines. Beautiful job; thanks for sharing!
