What even is life?
Poetry Prompts #21
Hey! I was on a vacation and it was great! We saw a whale and a deer swimming across Puget Sound and many invertebrates new to me. I would definitely vacation again, given the opportunity.
So now I am back to share the poemy-ness with you all.
Firstly, I’d like to encourage you to send in all your unpublished poems about pleasure, delight, wonder, and joy to the new Elysium Review. It’s the latest literary endeavor from Stevie Edwards (founder of Muzzle Magazine and poetry editor for the South Carolina Review). This is definitely a “get in at the ground floor” type situation.
And then here are a couple poetry writing prompts.
Read “A Fairy Tale” by Jennifer L. Knox
List five lies grownups told you when you were a kid
Pick one and write a poem about it
Read “the lost baby poem” by Lucille Clifton
List 10 things you’ve lost forever
Pick one
Write a poem about how the losing changed you
We will be doing the More of a Comment Than a Question Zoom poetry workshop again this Thursday June 29 at 8PM US CST. Register here. Payment optional!
