Poetry Fishbowl Report for June 5, 2012
The June theme was "precious metals and gems." A surge of prompts arrived midday, then nothing for a while, followed by a trickle later in the evening. I worked from 12:15 PM to 2:30 AM, so about 12 hours 15 minutes allowing for breaks. Most were medium poems, with a few epics, long and short poems. They were all free verse and all but one based on single prompts. A total of 17 people sent prompts.
