This is a prompt fest for poetry for all fandoms. Welcome, have fun, and if you want to promote it on your journal/tumblr/whatever, you can just copy the code in this box:
Rules
1) Leave a prompt in the form of fandom, characters or relationships, prompt. If you don’t want to specify the fandom or characters, you can say "any." One prompt per comment. Leave as many prompts as you like.
2) Reply to other people’s prompts with poems. The poems can be any length or form, or no form. Quality isn’t important--the point is to have fun, not to produce deathless works of art. (Any deathless works of art produced are just a bonus.)
FAQ
Q: I want to write a sonnet/haiku/villanelle/limerick, but I’m not sure how it goes.
A: You can find a good list of poetic forms and their structures here.
Q: I want to lik the bred.
A: Go right ahead.
Q: I want to fill a prompt, but someone else has already filled it.
A: That’s okay, prompts can be filled multiple times.
Q: I want to write explicit erotica, or a poem with potentially disturbing themes. Is that okay, and what sort of content do I need to warn for?
A: Sure, that's fine. Warnings are up to you, and choosing not to warn is okay too.
Q: How long is the fest going to be running for?
A: Currently, I don't have any plans to close this post to comments--I figure we'll keep going until everyone gets bored and wanders off. I reserve the right to change my mind, though.
Q: Is there a collection on AO3 where I can post my poems?
A: Right here.
Q: I want to participate, but I suck at writing poetry.
A: Aww, you’re probably not as bad as you think. But even if you are, it really doesn’t matter--like I said, the main point is to have fun.

Date: 2017-03-14 05:21 pm (UTC)Better lose some trade from the outside
Than half the workforce show up sick or dead.
So we were safe, while all the world died.
They gave us guns, and said to watch the screen.
In fear of twisted beasts, we put to sea.
The ocean’s depths pierced by a dreadful keen,
My dreams were echoes of their agony.
But when we met a vessel under sail
We always saw them safely back to land
Till once we got no answer to our hail.
We flashed our lights. They didn’t understand.
The order given couldn’t be denied.
I pressed a button, and the world died.

Afterwards, she fell
It gave back a child
Unwillingly, love and blood
Bound us together

Though Hannu says they're bad for me, I state,
Dinner is better when they're on my plate.
One more is all I ask, and one more still,
Good gracious, I will never have my fill!
Sausages, they give me quite a thrill.

Date: 2017-03-14 10:27 pm (UTC)the fluttering beat of wings
against pale ribs. her breath
a hidden world, fingers warm
and soft. my own, calloused
and war-torn, unsuitable
for holding such a gentle thing
as her. but she, graced with
light, comes to me, trembling.
and i, amazed, take her into
my arms.
