prompts and links and stuff?

hello?
do you know any really good prompt sites?
it's too bad we've lost Poetry Instigator and some of the other really cool things I link to over there on the right.

what do you think your poetry is for? where does it come from? where does it go?

Banter

Banter is what two roosters do when there's nothing to do but watch the weather.
The bond of shared responsibility momentarily blocks the instinct to fight as clouds roll in and the world asserts its changeability.
Change is the death of roosters.
Earth, water, air, duty. The rooster looks skyward and clucks to himself, feeling that this is the quietest he's ever been.

I'm Coming Back

I've been addressing my fears
one by one

I've been making step by step diagrams
in my head
of how I'd kill an animal I meant to eat
or an animal that meant to eat me

So, naturally, the internet
is okay now
