Monday Poetry Prompt: Quirk

This week let’s write a quirk poem. Quirks can be humorous, harmless or they can reveal something sinister. It’s up to you. Post your quirk in the comments below. (BTW, in the anime series My Hero Academia a “quirk” is kind of like a superpower.)

Monday Poetry Prompt: Tap

This week let’s write a tap poem. You know that sound, as if someone were gently rapping, rapping at your chamber door. One can be tapped on the shoulder or tapped to do a job or all tapped out. Don’t be late (like I was with this prompt) post your poems in the comments below.

Monday Poetry Prompt: Polygon

This week let’s write an attraction poem. Magnets, gravity, moths to flames, we live in a world of attraction. Post your attractive poem in the comments below. (Bonus points for including the $50 word “cynosure” and making it sound natural.)

This week let’s do another three random words prompt. I rolled the dice and got “especially”, “sale” and “spirit”. Write a poem using all three words and post the result in the comments below.
