Natural Disasters and Other Curses—A Prompt Inspired by My Daughter

So, last month was not productive, and this month…the same. I once again am behind on creating blog posts, editing the manuscript, writing new poems and reading anything other than Twitter. Since my brain is the equivalent of a couch’s cushion crack, I can offer only scattered crumbs and mysterious lumps for prompts.

Write a narrative poem using my daughter’s drawing as inspiration.

For a second poem, create a supernatural reason for a disaster in your life. Create your own superstition. Perhaps you were cursed by an abacus to never understand accounting programs. Or maybe you accidentally stepped on the saint of an ant colony and now will suffer raids of retribution for ever more.

Bonus prompt: write a poem with the title “Lobsters in Rapture.”

Good luck!
