Poetry Fishbowl Report for Tuesday, April 6, 2010
The April theme was "high fantasy." There wasn't as much activity this time. I worked from 11 AM to 10:15 PM, so about 9 hours and 15 minutes, allowing for breaks. I wrote 12 poems, which is on the low side, but 3 of those were epics. Most of the others were medium-short or medium-long, with one long and no short poems this month. There were several form poems, including double-ballads, couplets, and haiku verses; plus some free-verse poems. Most came from single prompts, though there were a few combinations. I'm not surprised by the length and form spread here -- high fantasy runs to epics and rhymes. A total of 10 people sent prompts. There were 60 comments, including mine.
