April Visual Poetry Prompt

Posted by ⋅ ⋅ 9 Comments
Filed Under  , ,

This will be the only post in April, National Poetry Month. Feel free to use the American Academy of Poets poster for the month as a prompt.

Many of us are writing a poem-a-day to celebrate. I tend to use the daily prompts posted at Robert Lee Brewer’s Write Better Poetry blog but others swear by NaPoWriMo. It doesn’t matter whose prompts you use, as long as you write.

If you know of any other sites with daily prompts for the month, please comment below so I can follow them and if you’re posting a poem-a-day please link to your blog so I can follow your work too.

Good luck, poets! Here’s to a productive April. The Monday Poetry Prompt will return in May.

  1. I wrote this for my father. It was published in Doctor Funny:

    Lists List As They Shift

    The items in lists shift
    in import, or fall off
    from boredom or cause
    other items to crawl on,
    to cling on as lists lean
    towards duties forgotten,
    Just ask my father.
    He left lists on tables.
    He did it on purpose,
    I’m certain, to show
    he was busy when
    he was too busy
    watching wrestling
    in front of TV.
