In case anyone comes by here through googling some strange search term and has not heard, Tiel and Mike have set up a new writing community to take up the space Poetry Thursday used to fill: Totally Optional Prompts. The prompt for this week, for which many people will be writing poems and posting links at their site which may or may not be somehow related, is based on a Chinese poem from the Tang Dynasty (circa a long-ass time ago):
On Hearing a Lute-Player
Your seven strings are like the voice
Of a cold wind in the pines,
Singing old beloved songs
Which no one cares for any more.
More details and exposition here.
