Welcome to Week Forty-Six of our 2022 Writing Prompt Journey! It has been such a wonderful journey together so far, and I hope you enjoy the prompts to come as we travel together through the chill winter season.

- 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.
- tricubes: a mathematical poetic form…
