A Poetry Prompt: Desire

The Purpose

With today’s prompt, we want you to focus on the rhythm of your words. We want you to feel each line as it leaves your fingertips. It’s important that the rhythm and flow of your poetry matches the power of the message it spreads.

The Prompt

Scenery/Vibe: The middle of the Pacific Ocean. It’s dark. You’re alone. And you just want to reach shore; to see light; to feel something.

Poem’s Message: That when darkness swarms, people will go to great lengths to reach safety and warmth.


Try this prompt for size and create something based on it. If you do write something, please share it with us in one way or another. Tag us in a post, post it in the comments, send it to us in an email — we’d love to read your work.

Who knows? If you send something our way and we really like the way you write, we might just offer you a discount on our editing services. Or we might even edit a few chapters for free. It’s worth a try on your part.

You can reach us with your submission or with any questions/inquiries here.

DISCLAIMER: These prompts are here for you to use however you like. You can use them to aid you and give inspiration for competitions, or even for full-length poetry collections. They’re yours. Consider them your little gift — from us, to you. Do with them as you wish!
