Christine Weimer30 Poetry Prompts for National Poetry Month
April 1st marks the start of National Poetry Month and we’re calling all lovers of rhyme, writers of metaphors, influencers of imagery and illusion (and alliteration).
We’ve got poetry prompts for you to inspire fresh writing, new ideas, and the commemoration of all things poetic form. Break through your writer's block, explore new devices, and let’s take our poetry to the next level–together!
All month long, we’ll be celebrating your work on our Instagram stories and feed, hoping to connect aspiring poets to each other through your writing.
Be sure to use the hashtag #galaxywriters and tag @ourgalaxypublishing in your posts so we can read and share them. Scroll through the hashtag and follow our page to support other poets’ works. We’ll be doing the same on Facebook as well.
Let’s make this a month of amplification, collective writing, and free expression that helps you expand as a creator.
Here are the prompts:
spinning in fields of daisies
there’s a hole in my narrative
silence is a screaming match
maybe just this once
petals of poetry’s past
the day never breaks
monkey mind or mania
as per my last email
I didn’t ask you to see me
burying my clarity in caution
I don’t remember asking
counting clocks
and the irony is
my metaphors are muddled
galaxies of ghosts
I take back what I said
seamstresses of storms
if hope had feathers
there are no fine ladies here
surfacing from secrets
my voice is a lighthouse
I pushed fear down the stairs
breakdown to breakthrough
my pen is not a weapon
postpone the reckoning
shattered illusions
a detached observer
if there is no next time
comparison kills
what the ground taught me
