Alas, I added the “Sex” for the sound effect and to attract attention, although it does seem wrong to post a poem and a prompt from Moist Poetry Journal that doesn’t have sex.

I love poems that play with syntax and repetition so that just a few words can take on multiple meanings, so I definitely wanted to share both the poem and the prompt. Btw, Moist Poetry Journal is posting other paired poems and prompts this month. Check it out: https://moistpoetryjournal.com/tag/prompt/

If you would like another example, I wrote a poem in which I broke and rearranged three sentences from a prompt given by Cathy Lin Che, a wonderful writer and workshop facilitator. Here is a screenshot of it from Variety Pack.

Good luck with writing! Have fun breaking lines and repeating yourself!
