Time for a visual poem - here's the prompt from the NaPoWriMo site:
Our prompt for the day (optional, as always) plays of our resources. Today, I challenge you to write a visual poem. If that’s not specific enough, perhaps you can try your hand at a calligram? That’s a poem or other text in which the words are arranged into a specific shape or image. You might find inspiration in the famous calligrams written by Guillaume Apollinaire. And a word to the wise — the best way to cope with today’s exercise may well be to abandon your keyboard, and sit down with paper and pen (and maybe crayons or colored pencils or markers!)
I've written a couple of these for classes - one has been sent off for possible publication, so I won't share it here yet... Later, after it's published, maybe (some lit mags are very specific about what is considered previously published, sometimes on my blog or facebook is considered previously published - so I'm careful with the work I want to see in print!)
