I want to be taken in by your poems, so much so that I forget who and where I am for a moment. Make these amazing, guys. (If they're good, I'll probably increase the points.)
Here are your prompts, should you choose to accept them. Make of them what you will. And feel free to combine more than one.
1. eyes/mirrors
2. taxi driver by day, superhero by night
3. the shadows on the moon
4. an invisible wall
5. trembling
6. "My heart is inside-out," he said.
7. a trapdoor
8. an animal working in a job usually taken by humans
9. "Where I'm from, _________."
10. clumsiness
3, 2, 1... GO.
p.s. if your prompt choice is not obvious, please list it in your author notes.

I like these prompts. I might even enter if i can get a poem from star to end in that time...the normal gestation time for one of my poems is about 10 weeks ...I have combinations of 1,4,6,7,9,and 10 in mind...and maybe a bit of 8.
