Poet a Day Blog

If you’re one of those people who are always looking for a source of inspiration, A Thousand Words is a valuable addition to your writing toolbox. Every Sunday, Jenn posts a visual inspiration for writing. Each photo is linked to its source so that you an easily download and use the photo in your own posts on your own blog, and credit and link back to the original source. Participating is as simple as writing about the inspiration posted, then using the Mr. Linky widget at A Thousand Words to link back to your post. The inspirations are beautiful, the site is well-designed and Jenn has taken pains to make it easy to use. It’s sadly under-utilized as of my visit, but that doesn’t make it any less useful for prompt-y goodness. This one goes on my inspiration-starter list.

poem a virtual poetry group is an online poetry prompt site with a difference. The poetry prompts run in monthly cycles, with four weeks of poetry and prompts arising from a single poem posted at the start of each month. The site is hosted and maintained by jillypoet and carolee, two veteran poet bloggers who are great networkers and do a great job of maintaining the group and keeping things rolling along. If you like a little more meat to your poetry prompts, or really enjoy getting your teeth into a new form or theme, poem is definitely a site where you’ll find likeminded poetry bloggers and poets.

The Miss Rumphius Effect is a delightful blog written and maintained by a teacher and mom from Richmond, Virginia. Her reviews of kid’s literature, discussions of poetry, reading and literacy and her weekly “Monday Poetry Stretch” make this blog well worth reading regularly. In addition to writing poetry and writing about poetry, Miss Rumpious also shares insights on reading, teaching and sharing poetry with children - and maintains a list of links for anyone interested in children, what they like to read and what makes them tick.
