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.

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.

If you want something fun to keep you occupied in May, check out my list of more than 160 poetic forms. Each form includes guidelines and an example poem to show how the form works!
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.
