Welcome poets!
Our inaugural prompt is to listen to and take your inspiration from this song. Believe it or not, we chose the blog's name "What's Going On" before we found the song.* But I don't believe in coincidence, do you?
- You could write a poem in response to the song.
- You could write "what's going on" in the pattern of the song or as ballad or a narrative poem.
- You could introduce yourself or one part of yourself in a poem that answers the question "what's going on for you?"
- You could write a poem that unmasks something you thought was going on.
Please link one poem that is your response to the material of this prompt. When you link your poem, please visit other links, in the spirit of community.

"What's going on?" is going to be a guiding question on this blog, though we may each apply it in different ways. For more information, please read "About" and "The Rules" pages. To find out or refresh your memory about each of us, read the "Who We Are" page. Prompts will be posted Wednesday at 11 A.M. Eastern Time, and will close Sunday night at 8 P.M. Eastern Time.
