Hello Members!

Ever wonder how to begin a New Poetry Prompt? Here are some ideas for setting up a New Topic for that purpose. It's simple, effective, and when coupled with adding the finished prompt to our Facebook Members Walls, will generate more response.

Who can host a New Prompt?
Any BpoetryWriter Member in good standing.

Why the special formatting?
This is an open-to-the-public-forum. A lot of our traffic comes from links Facebook members see on BpoetryWriters' FB membership walls. Here are a couple of ways we can generate interest with guests . . .

► The prompts should to be visual with a corresponding graphic placed near the top of the topic that will show in the FB link:

Who will post the links on Facebook? It's tedious, so usually I do. You can let me know via a PM if I don't catch it soon enough - just write:New Prompt up!

► Creative Topic Headings . . .

here's four creative examples:
9/26 Nonsense Utter Nonsense by Jinettyx
4/27 Beginning and Ending the Same By Sue
5/5 Sharp Cries by Ali
8/25 A Picture is Worth a Thousand Words by BC

► Dated for reference:

► Interesting, INFORMATIVE Body . . .
You've desided to host a prompt. Make it interesting, share your expectations in such a way that will FORCE folks to want to give the prompt a try. If you've chosen a form, state it, showing an example for reference. We are writers! Use your writing abilities to their best.

► Stickied to place the New Prompt at the [head] of the pile:

That's pretty much it.
