Monday Poetry Prompt: Questions?

Posted by ⋅ ⋅ 17 Comments
Filed Under  ,

This week let’s write a question poem. As those of you who’ve served in workshops with me know, I don’t like questions in poems. Usually they can either be reworded as statements or simply omitted and the poem becomes stronger but for this prompt write a poem that poses “who”, “what”, “where”, “when”, “why” and “how” questions then post it in the comments below.

The inspiration for this prompt was a poem posted by Stacey L. Johnson on her Breadcrumbs site that really got me thinking.

And, if you’d ever like to work with me, I run a monthly workshop via Zoom on the third Thursday of every month. Join the Living Poetry Meetup group to sign up.

    Hello. Creating the Meetup account so that I can join the group is giving me a hard time. Is there no other way that I can join the workshops virtually?
