Welcome to Week Twenty-Two of the 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).
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:
- clogyrnach: a Welsh poem with six lines and a syllable structure of 8/8/5/5/3/3. The poem also has an end-line rhyme scheme of aabbba.
- lai: a poem with nine lines, and a rhyme structure of aabaabaab. The a-rhyme lines have five syllables each, while the b-lines are only two syllables.
- tricubes: a mathematical poetic form created by Phillip Larrea. Three stanzas, three lines in each, and three syllables per line.
The simple rules for this Journey:
- Pick a prompt (or two or three!) and get writing.
- Post in our Publication, or post anywhere! Make sure to share a link in your post back to this Prompt post.
- Share a link to your prompted writing in the comments.
