For today s prompt, write an evening poem. The evening can be a quiet and contemplative time, a stressed or fearful time, or, well, party time. Evenings can be lonely or romantic, cool or humid, inspirational or numbing. And today (or tonight, depending on when you consume your poetry prompts), evening is the time for poeming even if you re doing it in the middle of the afternoon.
Remember: These prompts are springboards to creativity. Use them to expand your possibilities, not limit them.

As we near the end of the month, I hope you ll continue to play around with your poems in May and beyond. To help that process, here s my one simple rule for revising your poetry. May it help you as you further the creation process.
For today s prompt, take the phrase (blank) World, replace the blank with a word or phrase, make the new phrase the title of your poem, and then, write your poem. Possible titles include: Theme Park World, Poeming World, and/or Brave New World. Have fun putting the world in a poem.

For today s prompt, write a thought poem. Of course, my first thought (maybe like yours) is, Aren t all poems thought poems? Well, I guess, but I m thinking of a poem that captures a thought or random ramblings running round your cranium. It doesn t have to be a rambling poem, but that s one thing. Another possibility is having two people share their thoughts with each other and/or NOT share them. Think about it a moment and then unleash your thought poem.

Recently, I stumbled on this post from 7 years back, and I thought I d share it, because I think it s still relevant today: What is the value of poetry? I hope you ve been finding plenty to value this month!
For today s prompt, write a question poem. There are a few different ways to come at this one. First, make the title of your poem a question and use the poem to answer it. Or make the title the answer and the poem the question. Or end your poem on a question.
