Welcome to Week Forty-Three of our 2022 Writing Prompt Journey and the Fourth Week of Spooky Season! I hope you continue to enjoy all the wonderfully dreadful prompts we’ve created for you this month.

We also have 39 weeks of prompts so far this year (before Spooky Season), that are not so spooky if scary things are not for you.

As always, 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 device, but here are a few different ideas of poetic forms to get you started:

  • double-etheree: a poem that is 20 lines long, and the syllable count is 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1.
  • free verse poem: let your creativity run wild, with no specific syllable count or line quantity needed. There is no rhyme scheme required, but you may include rhymes if you like (anything goes)!
