Writng and Reading Poetry

I have been writing much poetry over the past few days. I'm also reading some poetry including selected poems by Walt Whitman.

I am using prompts to begin and it has paid off. The number of  prompts is unlimited. I see now how any kind of prompts can be the seed to a piece of writing. I picked up from poetry books in the vestibule of a church the other day. I read several poems last night and was very impressed by the subjects and thoughts of the authors. I now remember using prompts when writing short stories.Guess I'm getting back to basics.
