The middle of the week, Hump Day, tends to be the day we are most overwhelmed by work. On such days, it can be hard to find time to write. Today’s prompt may help:
- Write a list poem. Draw inspiration from either things you see or things you feel or things you imagine. Any topic will do. Don’t overthink it! I took a humorous turn on a list poem in “A Series of Unlikely Explanations,” which I wrote for NaPoWriMo last year.
If you’d like share a link to your poem (on your blog or a Facebook post) in the comments below. If you like, you can paste the entire poem, but remember that poems appearing in the comments are not considered published in Wild Violet.
