One Deep Breath is one of two favorite poetry memes.
One Deep Breath is about Haiku and similar styles of poetry. Each week a prompt is posted consisting of a word or words along with a photo and poem for inspiration. Links to our efforts are posted and updated throughout the week as one post so we don’t have to hunt through comments to see who has written.
No worries about late or uncooperative muses, we can still participate without duress. (Not that poets suffer duress or uncooperative muses.)
The side bar is well organized for links by type: Haiku, Tanka, Haibun, Haiga. I have not been disappointed with the ones I have visited. Want to find a good book on the style? That has been included as well.
In recent months participation has grown to the mid forties (numbers, not ages! Though that might be an interesting statistic. . .Hmmm.) Again, following the links to other poets, there is always something interesting on their sites. A lot, actually.
I love One Deep Breath – Sharon and Jennifer have a site that is well-organized with a clean look to it – and prompts that have shoved us all deep in thought and awakened our sometimes stubborn muses. When you stop by, read the quote on the upper right side bar (easy to find). They have shared and enabled us to share as well.
They are always close at hand – Haiku button on my sidebar.
