A Bear! Where?
The Prompt from Sahil Patel: “Think about a time when nature really moved you. Describe how being in a specific natural place made you want to write. Share how the beauty of nature inspired the words you put on paper and how it changed your feelings.” Sahil Patel has weekly prompts on medium.com. Many are nature prompts, at least those are the ones I have responded to.

An Ode To Snow, Water and Life
The ode is a poetic form formed for flattery. There are three types of odes: the Horation; the Pindaric; and the Irregular. The Horation ode (named for the Latin poet, Horace) contains one stanza pattern that repeats throughout the poem--usually 2 or 4 lines. The Pindaric ode (named for the Greek poet, Pindar) comprises a pattern of three stanzas called triads. This type of ode can be composed of several triads, still the first (the strophe) and the second (antistrophe) should be identical metrically with the third (epode) wandering off on its metrical path. The irregular ode (named for no one in particular) does away with formalities and focuses on the praising aspect of the ode. Writer's Digest, Robert Lee Brewer

Should I Ride?
The pregunta is a Spanish poetic form that proposes a question and offers a response. Here are the basic guidelines: Usually a collaborative poem . First stanza presents a question (or series of questions). Second stanza presents an answer while copying the form and structure of the first stanza. Quick note: The first stanza sets the structure for the second half of the poem. Not only does it decide the subject through the question (or questions) it asks, but it also decides the structure and form for the poem. Writers Digest, Robert Lee Brewer
