Recommend Your Favorite Freewrite Poem - Week 2/7- 2/10/2019
A Favorite Freewrite Poem
Recommend Freewrite Poetry is a weekly event at the Freewrite House.
So many of you are gifted poets and sometimes, we don’t find all the wonderful poems. As always, all of us together are going to be so much better. We see more poems and all of us have different tastes and opinions. We like to hear them!
We extended the time for this contest and you now have three days to find a Freewrite Poem and participate. Please, help us find the talented Freewrite Poets out there so we can feature them.
Win, Win, Win!!!

- Check the comment section of the Daily Prompt @mariannewest and you will find many.
Please make sure that the poem you recommend was inspired by a freewrite!

In an ideal world, you also give that person a nice upvote - but we are not going to check on that.

Finding a Freewrite Poem
If you are not familiar with the daily freewrite prompt and the many wonderful writers who produce the most amazing 5-minute (or sometimes much longer) Freewrites, go to @mariannewest and look for the prompt. The graphics look like this
In the comments, you find lots of links to all kind of Freewrites and Freewrite poems. We are asking the poets to use the #freewritepoetry or #freewritepoetrydigest but not all do. Search high and low for those wonderful poems.
Also, tell poets you know to start writing with us using the daily prompt.

I have become a @d00k13's poetry fan. The poem he wrote using "jam tomorrow" should remind everyone that life is what you make of it and not to put off until tomorrow what you can do today. I really like the analogy of the rock artist and procrastination. Well done!

This one tickled me, and who doesn't need a tickle now and then? I love the compulsion to cook (I could use a bit of that), admire @whatisnew readiness with rhymes (it can take me a full five minutes to think of just one!) and the surprise ending. I hope she had her "recipes" written down or had shown them to some few. Thank you for the fun!

I see only this post for nominating a poem, not the other freewrites.
You Are the Light by @aislingcronin reminds me how the best poems are often made up of the simplest words. Ordinary every-day words, not fanciful or "five-dollar" or flowery words. This captivated me:
You are the home I never knew
Your face a picture of dreams
And your eyes
Hold a vision of a love beyond time.
There's more - quick, check out the post, before it's too late to upvote!
This is not a poem, but it's poetic, and I've yet to find the other post for Favorite Freewrites.
@improv
Mount Balefire. There is always a beacon atop Mount Balefire. And down, into the canyon, though there are no roaming dogs, you will find the Cafe of shuttered windows.

I love this! The tone is epic and sweeping, rich and timeless. There's even a crime noir vibe.
Dogs no longer roam these streets: that says a lot. It makes me want to know what's left. Behind a shuttered window, a drenched old man, for there are only men and cats in this town - every single word on its own is a simple word, but put together, they convey so much more than meets the eye. You're a born writer @improv! You've got "it."
Oops - I looked only under @mariannewest for the place to recommend, when it was in plain sight under @freewritehouse. Mea culpa!
No worries LOL
I'll be back to recommend a poem, I'm partying right now. 🎊🎉
Party on!!!!
