It’s getting to be that time of year, so let’s write a spooky poem. It could be a poetic ghost story or maybe describe a haunted house. Let’s get it started now then it can be revised and ready for the Big Day at the end of the month.
I try to keep the text brief and cryptic on these visual prompts so as not to influence my fellow poets too much but this Monday I want to note that it’s Banned Books Week and hope you’ll take up the theme of “Let Freedom Read”.
This week lets write a leaf poem. Leaves don’t just grow on trees. They also can be inserted into tables to accommodate more guests or can be made of gold or silver foil. Whichever leaves you choose, post your foliage in the comments below.
This week let’s write a poem with the words detail, early and telephone in it. This is another of those prompts where I randomly choose three words from a list of the top 1000 words in the English language plus a few of my favorites. Post your poems in the comments below.
This week let’s write a peacemaker poem. Peace, like poetry, is hard work. If it were easy, there wouldn’t be so many wars. Post your piece in the comments below.
Post your labor in the comments below.
This week let’s write a back to school poem. It could be from the point of view of a student, a teacher, a parent, the school, whatever this awful time of year evokes. Post your poem in the comments below before I send you to the principal’s office.
This week let’s write a poem with the words finger, forward and god in it. This is another of those prompts where I randomly choose three words from a list of the top 1000 words in the English language plus a few of my favorites. Post your poems in the comments below.
