A Writing Prompt

Last week, in poetry workshop, I confessed that I’m ready to go in a new direction with my poems. Much of my observation has been internal; I write about what I feel passionate about. But I want to stretch myself as a poet.

So, I Googled “poetry writing prompts” and the one I chose is this:

Start the first line of your poem with a word or phrase from a recent passing conversation between you and someone you don’t know.

So, this week, my goal is to start a conversation with a random stranger and from that conversation choose a line to begin my poem. And I challenge you to do the same. Feel free to share your poems, here. I’ll be sharing mine later in the week.

Peace & Love,

Rosalind
