Poetry Dance ©

Well, Spencer and I have been working on Poetry Dance a little this week, and decided to go ahead and go public with the journal today.  :)  Only about a week left of August (my how times flies...  summer is almost gone!) and we want to do a Poetry Challange the first of September.  None of this may go off, but it's an idea, and you never know unless you try.  :) 

Anyway, for the opening day I'd like to offer up an invite to introduce yourself.  But, since this is a poetry forum, I thought it'd be cool to do it in poetry form.  Have you ever done a Bio-Poem?  They are very simple, they don't need to rhyme, (none of mine ever have) and they can be done over and over as you grow and change.  They are fairly fun.

Here's the recipe:

Line 1: Name
Line 2: Four adjectives describing you.
Line 3: Daughter/Son of (or) Sister/Brother of....
Line 4: Who is (three things)
Line 5:Lover of (three things)
Line 6: Who fears (three things)
Line 7: Who needs (three things)
Line 8: Who gives (three things)
Line 9: Who would some like (three things)
Line 10: Resident of...
Line 11: Name  

You don't have to be a poet to do this, nor have any intent to participate in any of the poetry stuff here.  This little activity is just for fun.  Do it in your own journal, pass the idea along to someone else to try.  It's a cool way to give others a window to who you are.  :)  If you are up to it post a link here so we can see what you did. 

I did one of my own as an example of one I did for myself in my personal poetry journal,  Web Of Dreams.  Like I already mentioned, if you'd like to post one in your own journal, leave a link in the comments section below, but you can feel free to just do the whole poem here.   We're looking forward to seeing what people come up with!

Here are some of the bio-poems so far...  check em out and be sure and add your own!

There is also a bio poem below, by Amy :)  If I haven't posted your link here it is either because I could not find your poem to link to (check it and see...  post a new link if you need to) or because it is the weekend and I may not be back until Monday, at which time I will update the page.  This has been lotsa fun :)  Neat creations, and while I am at it some great glimpses into some cool journals.  Can't wait for Monday!  TTFN!
