Has April been a good month for your poetry writing? Even if you didn’t meet the NaPoWriMo challenge (30 poems in 30 days), did you write at least one poem you wouldn’t have written otherwise? Today’s prompt asks you to reflect:
- Write an epilogue poem, or a poem that adds insight to events that have happened, reflects on meaning and looks forward to the future. For inspiration, read Robert Lowell’s “Epilogue,” Robert Browning’s “Epilogue,” and Ezra Pound’s “Epilogue.”
If you like share a link to your poem in the comments below. Remember, if you choose to cut and paste your poem into the comments instead, poems shared that way are not considered published in Wild Violet.
