• NaPoWriMo 2020- Day 13: Dear Sis, I want you to know

  

  Nonetheless, our optional prompt for today (developed by Rachel McKibbens, who is well-known for her imaginative and inspiring prompts) plays on the idea of stealing. Today, I challenge you to write a non-apology for the things you’ve stolen. Maybe it’s something as small as your sister’s hairbrush (or maybe it was your sister’s boyfriend!) Regardless,…

• I need to talk

  

  A hollow feeling A silence gnawing An emptiness A loneliness I need to talk- But to who?   The lift man perhaps, who wishes me- On my way out at the break of dawn, The one who presses ‘G’ Lost in his thoughts, his eyes half closed Up and down he goes all day Inside…

• NaPoWriMo: Day 26 – I didn’t know

  

  Today, I’d like to challenge you to write a poem that uses repetition. You can repeat a word, or phrase. You can even repeat an image, perhaps slightly changing or enlarging it from stanza to stanza, to alter its meaning. There are (perhaps paradoxically) infinite possibilities in repetition. Want to look at some examples? Perhaps…

• NaPoWriMo : Day 20 – What happened over lunch today

  

  And now for our optional prompt! Today, I’d like to challenge you to write a poem that “talks.” What does that mean? Well, take a look at this poem by Diane Seuss. While it isn’t a monologue, it’s largely based in spoken language, interspersed with the speaker/narrator’s own responses and thoughts. Try to write a…

• NaPoWriMo Day12 : Take care of it

  

  Today, we’d like to challenge you to write a poem about a dull thing that you own, and why (and how) you love it. Alternatively, what would it mean to you to give away or destroy a significant object? Significant or dull is such a relative term. What is significant to me may look like…
