My Mountain List
Summit
dragon flies
raccoon with young’ un at drinking fountain
Juniper Trail
breeze
no water campsite
drought ended spring
fly buzz louder than ears ringing
oak scent
Wind Rock Caves
graffiti
names gone by
dates passed up
parched couple
guy asks me
“Come to carve your name?”

the rains come

come back
to myself
iguana
skylark
ichthyosaur
after years
of grieving
cloudbank
green sap rising
granite butte
i need a river or pond
to see myself
says the cloud
so finally
she opens
to make mirror
the rains come

IMUNURI Prompt: List Poem
Write a list poem.
List or catalog poem are simply that: poems formatted as a list. The form is quite open-ended and could be a numbered sequence, an ordering of events, an arbitrary string of images, or a series of parallel or un-parallel entries.
Examples:
"Jubilate Agno, Fragment B, [For I will consider my Cat Jeoffry]" by Christopher Smart, 1722 - 1771
"How Do I Love Thee (Sonnet 43" by Elizabeth Barrett Browning, 1806 - 1861
"Howl" by Allen Ginsberg, 1926–1997
"Yes" by Denise Duhame b.1971
As well as "The Twelve Days of Christmas," "Dr. Seuss's ABC's," and the intro verse to "Blue Suede Shoes."
One for the money,
Two for the show.
Three to get ready,
then go, cat, go!
Keywords: your handle, poem, listpoem

Random Time Travel - from object to slogans to titles
snapped shut oxygen deprived
snapped open/ flint struck flame tall
zippoed either way
close shave that crow stunt
stolen covers
left little boy open to bad dreams
at watch for jumpers
his brain leaps to
more graven falls
out drummed below
film crew skeletons atop double decker bus
celluloid carnivores
crank cameras out of time
no better than chained bear walkers
tight roping
bicycle passenger locked in app
sidecar-ing
wearing
high leather laced boots
red and yellow
stickers on
master locked
messenger bag
announce
“Leave the clothes off animals”!
“This aint the Summer of Love!”
big wheels
pedaling smelling salts
************************************
Future Poem Titles
zippoed either way
out drummed below
tight roping
pedaling smelling salts

IMUNURI Prompt: Time Travel in Photos
Step inside. Your travels begin now. Look out the window at the various strange goings-on in years gone by.
When an image sparks words, jot them. Jot more. Arrange, add, edit and rework.
Write a poem in the next two weeks inspired by a photo in this stream, or find another old photos archive such as the Library of Congress's.
When you post your poem, poet the image or a link to it as well so other time travelers can see where you've been.
Keywords: Label your post with your handle, the word "poem," and the phrase "time travel."
Happy timetrails!
