Our prompt this week is Fleeting Beauty.
Lots to come to terms with on this one (what is beauty? how fast is fleeting?). See where this takes you for writing a poem.

I personally think Haiku naturally conveys a sense of fleeting beauty. If all else fails, try a Haiku on the topic. More about the Haiku form here.

Our prompt this week is Success.
What needs to be successful in your life? How do you measure if it is a success?

Our prompt this week is Back to Basics.
What are the basics in your life? If you could no longer hold on to everything, what would you keep closest so it would be the last to go? Write your poem about whatever basics of life come to mind.

Our prompt this week is Fate or Freewill.
Our sciences have found no place or proof for freewill. Yet, having freewill is something nearly all belief systems hold as a universal truth – Humans can choose. But still, if we all came from the same place, and we are all headed for the same destination, what choice do we have?
Pick fate or freewill and see where your poem takes you.

Our prompt this week is The Good Life.
The good life is advertised and sung about all the time, so why not write a poem inspired by it too. Write about whatever the good life inspires for you.

Our prompt this week is Earth Day.
Today is the 52nd annual Earth Day. There is so much to say about this sphere hurdling through space that we call home, it is bound to inspire a good poem or two. As always, write what comes to mind: environmental, existential, or just earthy.

Our prompt this week are some Lines to Get Started.
I found these unfinished lines in a notebook of mine and thought it would be fun to see what they prompt from others. Use these lines directly in your poem or write whatever comes to mind after reading them:

Though captains come and go,
the ships can still sail on.
Though ships have found the bottom,
the destinations are not gone.

Our prompt this week is Objects Have Memories.

Each thing around us holds a memory or two: where it came from, why it’s here, why it’s needed, the hands it has passed through. Write a poem that starts with an object (maybe one close at hand) and leads through the memories it holds.

As always, please share your poem in the comments, I will be happy to read it and share my thoughts.

Our prompt this week is Where the Mind Dwells. Do you often cycle through the same thoughts? Maybe there’s a certain spin you put on every story that becomes your memory. I think we all do this. Think about what came to mind as you read this and write the poem that it inspires.

As always, please share your poem in the comments, I will be happy to read it and share my thoughts.

Our prompt this week is Two Sides of Loss. With every loss, there is an opportunity to write about the effect on those that lost a thing or the effect on the thing lost, or both. Some losses mean there was a winner, and some losses are just things removed from our lives. Write about a loss and then see where your poem takes you, does it pick a side?
