For today’s prompt, think of a favorite regional cuisine, make that the title of your poem, and then, write the poem. For instance, you may title your poem something like “Brunswick Stew,” “Deep Dish Pizza,” or “Jambalaya,” though the poem doesn’t exactly have to be about food.
For today’s prompt, pick a season (any season) and make it the title of your poem; then, write your poem. For instance, your poem might be titled “Winter” or “Spring” or “Rabbit Season” (if you have a sense of humor and like Looney Tunes cartoons).
For today’s prompt, write a hiding poem. You could be hiding. Someone else could be hiding. Something could be hidden. Or maybe there could even be a hidden meaning. I’m flexible with any interpretations poets want to put on the prompt. Have at it.
For today’s prompt, write a poem about something before your time. Maybe it’s a certain time in history. Or a type of music. Or a story that was shared by friends or family–before your time.
For today’s prompt, take the phrase, “100% (blank);” replace the blank with a new word or phrase; make the new phrase the title of your poem; and then, write your poem. Example titles might include: “100% Beef,” “100% Cotton,” “100% Awesome,” “100% Etc.”
For today’s prompt, there are actually two options, because it’s Tuesday, which means a “Two for Tuesday” prompt. They are:
Your choice. You can be sorry–or not. Or write about someone who is sorry–or not.
Write a visitor poem. The poem can be from the point of view of a visitor–or the people receiving the visitor. The visitor could be expected or unexpected. The visitor could be welcome or unwelcome. The visitor doesn’t even have to be human.
Write a communication poem. The communication could be dialogue between two (or more people); a postcard correspondence; a letter; a voicemail; a text message; a series of tweets; or whatever.
Once again, it is April. Time for poetry prompts! And poetry!!!
It isn’t a contest, but I just can’t help myself.
May the odds be ever in your favor.
I’m so excited that my novella, The Man, The Dog, His Owner & Her Lover is available on Kindle and Nook. See Publications for links or just search for me at Amazon or Barnes & Noble under Candace Carrabus.
I LOVE this story. When I started writing it last year, I wasn’t sure where it was going or if it would be a short story or novel. I’ve never written a novella before and I liked it. It is more in-depth than any short story, but not nearly as complicated as any of my novels.
If you love dogs, somewhat older heroines, and a little bit of magic with visits from a previous life thrown in for good measure, then you’ll love this story, too. It’s a quick and fun read for only $.99. And remember, a portion of net proceeds will be donated to animal shelters. Quick, fun, cheap, and a good cause…what could be better?
“I ABSOLUTELY LOVED it!!! It’s so easy to visualize your characters, and I love the rapport.” Evie
“I could not stop reading this!!! I felt every character, laughed, cried, and mostly laughed at Stephanie’s adventure in finding joy and hope in life.” Kim
April 30 prompt from Poetic Asides:
For today’s prompt, write an “after leaving here” poem. This poem could be about leaving an actual place, a relationship, or even this challenge. We leave many places and things every day without much ado, including rooms, vehicles, people (both those we know and complete strangers), etc. And to make this poem even more interesting is that there is presumably something that will be done after the leaving, whether that’s something fun, sad, hopeful, or whatever.
April 29 prompt from Poetic Asides:
For today’s prompt, write an ode. I’m thinking of odes in the more contemporary sense of being a praise poem, though if people want to get all old school with it, then that’s fine too. If I had more energy, I’d try to write a fitting ode to everyone of you participating in the challenge. This has been a terrific month (even with the strep throat). However, I had to settle for writing an ode about something else that just happened.
April 28 prompt from Poetic Aside:
For today’s prompt, write a “the world without something else” poem. If you remember on Day 3, I had everyone write a “the world without me” poem. This prompt imagines the world without something else, whether a person, place, thing, etc.
April 27 prompt from Poetic Asides:
For today’s prompt, take the phrase “In the (blank) of (blank),” replace the blanks with a word or phrase, make the new phrase the title of your poem, and then, write your poem. Some possible titles might include: “In the Heat of the Night,” “In the Heat of the Moment,” “In the Middle of a Heated Argument,” etc. Of course, you don’t have to use the word “heat” in your poem title; blame my fever for coming up with all those sample titles.
April 26 prompt for Poetic Asides:
Today is the final “Two for Tuesday” prompt(s) of the month:
I’ll leave it up to you to decide what a leader or follower poem might be. You can either lead the way in figuring that out, or follow the lead of another.
Believe in the Unbelievable, Believe in Yourself
To Stephanie O’Hanlon, 40-something workaholic, a blank to-do list is crazy-making. When she gets laid off and rescues a huge, smiling dog from a shelter—a dog her friend insists is inhabited by Steph’s lover from a former life—she discovers the true meaning of crazy.
Gabe Fagen, handyman and crazy-in-love with Stephanie since they were teenagers, sees Steph losing her job as the chance he’s been waiting for. But will she notice he’s alive with a mysterious giant dog acting as her guardian angel?
“Your opening statement grabbed me from the start. I was hooked all the way to the end! I was laughing almost the entire read. It made my heart happy.” Christine
