Monday Poetry Prompt: Majority

Posted by ⋅ ⋅ 2 Comments
Filed Under  ,

This week let’s write a majority poem. I rolled the dice and got this word which is prescient given that 2024 will be an election year in the United States, where Living Poetry primarily operates. Of course, your poem doesn’t have to be about politics. Maybe someone ate the majority of your blueberry pie or perhaps you or someone you know just reached the age of majority. Whatever the case, I hope the majority of poets reading this will post a poem in the comments below.

(Note: I couldn’t find any good stock images for “majority” so here’s a dog wearing glasses and a bow tie.)
