I must say that Twitter is the gift that keeps on giving when it comes to my blog…
For this first prompt, write a poem about a period in your life in which two opposing realities were both true: you both loved and hated your partner and were undecided whether to stay or leave. Put the reader at that moment before you made that decision. Try to end the poem in suspense and don’t give your decision.
For a second prompt, use the line “They are both broken and not broken until you open the door” as a ghostline. Or use the line as your first line and structure the resulting poem as Maggie Smith did in her “Poem Beginning with a Retweet.”
For the third prompt, use the structure suggested by Todd Dillard as the opening line of a poem. Or write an entire book as he recommended.
For the last prompt, take a poem you’ve written and rearrange the line breaks. Perhaps longer and shorter. More white space. Less. Maybe break it into stanzas or couplets or place it into a long column. How does the form modify the atmosphere of the poem? Explore. See what happens.
Bonus prompt: write a poem about either of these photos and credit the poet.
Good luck!
