Welcome to Week Forty-Eight of our 2023 Writing Prompt Journey!

We have three new prompts awaiting you, and two words/concepts for each that you can try to include in your poems (if you crave a challenge).

Also, if any of these prompts fail to inspire, but the images take you in an entirely different direction, please feel free to follow where your muse leads!

Your poems may be in any form and use any poetic devices, but here are a few different ideas of poetic forms to get you started:

• tricubes: a mathematical poetic form created by Phillip Larrea. Three stanzas, three lines in each, and three syllables per line.
• monorhyme: a poem where the end rhyme is the same for every line.
• ekphrastic: a poem with no line or rhyme restrictions or rules, except the poem must be written about or in response to a piece of art that inspires you. This can be a painting (perhaps one of your own), a photograph, or even your child’s crayon drawing.

The simple rules for this Journey:

1. Pick a prompt (or two or three!) and get writing.
