Poetry Fishbowl Report for September 18, 2012
The theme of the mid-month fishbowl was "Monster House." I worked from 12:30 PM to 3 AM, so about 12 hours 30 minutes allowing for lunch and supper breaks. There was a slow trickle of prompts through much of the day. I wrote 16 poems, most from single prompts but a few mixed. Almost all the poems were free-verse.
A total of 13 people sent prompts, which is low, but actually one higher than the main fishbowl this month. Please welcome new prompter DW user jb_slasher, whom you can thank for the second freebie poem. There were 37 comments on LJ and 6 on DW, not much crosstalk.
