Welcome to Week Thirty-Six of our 2022 Writing Prompt Journey!
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:
- etheree: a poem that is 10 lines, starting with a single syllable in the first line and adding one syllable per line until the final line is 10 syllables long.
- monorhyme: a poem where the end rhyme is the same for every line.
- sonnet: (English/Shakespearean form) a 14-line poem with three quatrains and an ending couplet. The rhyme scheme pattern is abab cdcd efef gg. Each line is generally 10 syllables long and is written in iambic pentameter (alternating unstressed and stressed syllables throughout each line).
