Writing prompts don’t always work well for me. Here are some of the things I use, when feeling “uninspired,” instead. Feel free to give them a try if you’re facing a bit of “writers block.” Or go out into the sunshine, paint a picture, work on a puzzle – do something else for a while. Writing well is work, but it shouldn’t be so HARD.
It’s harder to go down the up staircase! Almost harder than writing a double-acrostic, and probably for similar reasons.
Poets responding to other poems is an old tradition – using the original poem as a prompt, a springboard, an invitation to a conversation.
Life’s too short for bad hold music. An “explanation” poem NOT to be taken as serious technical support.
