Here is another beautiful love poem. Ellen Bass is a treasure.
For the first prompt, write a love poem using the imagery of animal mates.
The second prompt is to use the line “we come to this. I bind myself to you,” as a ghostline. Remember to erase the line after you’ve drafted your poem and credit the poet in an after statement or in your title.
The third prompt is to write about the experience of sleeping with your partner or a former lover, not the sex but sleeping together in the same bed. Horror stories are equally welcome here as love poems.
The last prompt is to write a poem using the following list of words: “floundered,” “separate,” “bind,” “wrapped,” “current,” “steal,” “sleep,” “together,” “rocked,” and “pebbles.”
Bonus prompt: Here is Pebbles sleeping on a lap. Write a poem about cuddling with a pet.
Good luck writing!
