Another day, another prompt! And it’s a weird one, my favorite kind! This prompt and sample poem are from Todd Dillard.

Check out his previous years’ prompts on posted Twitter here: https://x.com/toddedillard/status/1774817270960632124?s=61&t=PSJ_rB7mi_edMFanREUYpQ. Also be sure to grab his book, Ways We Vanish, which I loved.

The second prompt is a twist on his prompt: write an instructional poem or story on how to f#ck in your town. Or the variation: write an instructional poem or story on how to tell someone in your town to f#ck off.

Good luck writing! Have fun!
