It is April, which means it is also National Poetry Writing Month (woot woot). And I meant to totally write this yesterday, but I'm a tad bit forgetful and busy sometimes (better late, than never). I wrote some poetry writing prompts for ya, for the month of April. Here we go!
- free write
- fears
- ode to someone you look up to
- how music makes you feel
- talk about a color, without saying the color
- take something out of your fridge and write about it (the weirder, the better)
- favorite childhood memory
- haiku about breathing (5-7-5)
- mental illness
- write something really, genuinely happy
- poem about your phone
- poem about your best friend
- something funny
- write a poem to someone you caught feelings for (yikes!)
- write a poem to your childhood crush (cringe)
- religion (cause Easter Sunday!)
- talk about your favorite store
- life goals or plans
- write a poem to your favorite poet
- write a poem to your someone you miss
- animals
- take a page of a book and write an erasure poem (http://erasures.wavepoetry.com/)
- write a poem inspired by another poem
- write an ode to water
- write a poem about what it feels like to say "I love you" (could be platonic or romantic)
- write a poem about addiction (caffeine for me) or idolatry (anything you focus on more than you focus on God)
- eyes
- smoke
- fire
- free write
And by the time you finish the month of April you will have written 30 poems! You're welcome homies! Happy Writing!
