• NaPoWriMo Day 7 : Detention

  

  “Today, I’d like to challenge you to write a poem that argues against, or somehow questions, a proverb or saying. They say that “all cats are black at midnight,” but really?

• NaPoWriMo Day 15 – Papa, are you listening!

  

  Today’s prompt comes to us from Juan Martinez.
