This morning I saw a coyote and two roadrunners on my morning run, and since I am not one to deny fate, it seemed like a good spark for writing.
For today’s prompt: What animals are appearing to you today? What might they symbolize? What message might they carry? Why do you think they appeared to you? Try to look beyond the animals you see daily (pets, ants, etc), and see what unexpected creature may appear.
What is something you used to do but no longer practice. It could be a vice (like smoking) or maybe talking to a certain person or some other general habit that you once practiced.
Title the poem: “Reasons why I stopped…….” (fill in your blank)and create a list poem of why your habit has changed. Extra points if you never mention what the habit is in the entire piece.
Today’s prompt is an ekphrastic prompt regarding the pictures that are attached. There are many definitions of ekphrastic poetry, but for the purpose of today’s exercise, we will use the simplified definition of “art created from other art.”
Take a look at the pictures posted and choose one that catches your intention. Write about what the image inspires, what thoughts come to mind, what themes or lesson are portrayed. There is no wrong answer here. Just follow your inspiration and see if creates poem.
Be creative and see what comes about.
