Welcome to Week Thirty-Seven 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:
- lanturne: a 5-line poem that roughly resembles a lantern in shape when center justified. The syllable structure is 1,2,3,4,1.
- magnetic poem: a poem created from random words and phrases, rearranged into a coherent piece. If you don’t have a magnetic poetry set, try using a random word generator and writing the words onto small scraps of paper. Rearrange these words until a poem is formed.
- 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.
