National Poetry Writing Month: Day #12 (April 12, 2014)
Today’s prompt is #12 on the LitBridge list:
Talk about something specific a loved one does for you. […] Write a poem that incorporates the feelings and images associated with this event.
National Poetry Writing Month: Day #11 (April 11, 2014)
Today’s prompt involved writing ‘about wine-and-love [sic]’. Wine and I don’t get along so well these days, so I decided to go with #11 on the LitBridge list:
Take an image that you can recall from the prior week. Use this image to help you write a poem.
National Poetry Writing Month: Day #10 (April 10, 2014)
Today’s prompt is #50 on LitBridge’s Creative Writing Prompts for Poetry:
Look at the last 10 poems you have written. Pay attention to the ending lines. Use one of those ending lines to begin a new poem.
Dear Wednesday…
Dear Wednesday,
‘Unused creativity is dangerous.’ Something to ponder…
Love,

Today’s prompt: take any random song playlist (from your iPod, CD player, favorite radio station, Pandora or Spotify, etc.) and use the next five song titles on that randomized list in a poem.
Dear Tuesday…
Dear Tuesday,
I swear, you had me fooled. I kept thinking you were Wednesday. Next time, don’t be afraid to be yourself…
Love,
Kevin
