Rust, Corrosion and Chrome: A Random Acts of Poetry Prompt

2 Comments 16 September 2011

Here at Tweetspeak, we’ve been exploring the question, “What is Poetry?” and we’ve got some intriguing answers. Poetry is a net, a bowl, a loaf of bread.

No one has declared yet that poetry is rust, but now you could in a poem of your own. Because we’re teaming up with PhotoPlay this week, where photographers have been asked a similar question, “What is photography?” and they’re gathering rust photos as an answer.

Post your poem with your photographs of rust, or post it alone. Say that poetry is rust, or say it is oxygen, or even chrome polish. We’re game for where your imagination might take you. Share your link on the T. S. Poetry Press Facebook Wall, by Wednesday, September 21st.

Want to photograph some rust too? :) Check out the PhotoPlay challenge over at The High Calling.

All PhotoPlay and Random Acts of Poetry submissions will be listed at The High Calling on Friday, September 23. You might even get featured at The High Calling, here at Tweetspeak, or at Every Day Poems!

Sponsor Poetry (& Happiness)

Every day at Tweetspeak we work hard to bring happiness and personal growth to our audience. Sure, it costs. We could talk about that in terms of what it takes to make a house downpayment, for instance (and not in South Dakota either, you betcha).

Or we could just say this: we do it happily. If you want to be part of that happiness in a small way, you could "Subscribe" for a year. Well, and that would make us happy too. Yep.

We aren't offering anything gimmicky in return. Just a chance to make us smile and keep us mortgage-free. And either way, Tweetspeak will be here for you every day.

We'd love to tweet or Facebook our thanks to you if you sponsor. (And that's no gimmick.) Just tell us not to if you prefer to stay secret.
