I can't believe how fast we're breezing through this month. One week of poeming after today!For today's prompt, write a book poem. Today is World Book Day, which may be one of my favorite holidays moving forward, because I love books. Your poem could be inspired by a book, an author, a character, a scene, and/or however you'd like to come at this one. Heck, write about a bookstore, library, card catalogue, or any other bookish thing you can imagine.

It's time for the fourth (but not final) Two-for-Tuesday prompt:Write a tell me poem and/or... Write a don't tell me poem. You get to decide what that means; you might even tell me in your poem.

We're now three weeks deep into this challenge; way to bring it. Let's finish strong!For today's prompt, take the phrase "(blank) Day," replace the blank with a word or phrase, make the new phrase the title of your poem, and then, write your poem. Possible titles might include: "Opposite Day," "Green Day," "Earth Day," "The Last Ever Day," and/or "The Day Before Yesterday." Even "Holiday" would work honestly. Remember: These prompts are springboards to creativity.

For today's prompt, write a response poem. In many ways, every poem is a response poem as it's a response to something, even if it's that hard-to-explain sense of inspiration many poets feel. For the purposes of this prompt, your poem could respond to a story in the news (or just a fictional story, for that matter), a conversation you overheard in public (also called eavesdropping), or another poem (written by you or another poet).

For today's prompt, write a nature poem. Your poem could be about natural nature (think flowers, rivers, mountains, pebbles, weeds, trees, insects, fish, etc.), but don't neglect other iterations of nature (like human nature or the nature of baseball and so on). Remember: These prompts are springboards to creativity. Use them to expand your possibilities, not limit them.
