I have stalled a little in my quest to write a poem-a-day. So as I was browsing the internet I tried to find if there were other poets out there doing the same kind of thing. Several sites had challenges to write a poem-a-day for poetry month (April), and these usually supplied prompts for each of the days of the challenge. Unsure wether ti force myself to get started again by using some of these prompts. So far I have let a subject arise as inspiration strikes, I think it may well be more difficult to write to someone else's prompt but may give it a try just to see how it works.
examples are:-
30 day challenge to write a poem a day, with prompts
Poetic Asides, on Writer's Digest has a similar project
Creative Writing Now has hundreds of prompts
I will let you know how I get on.
A site I have found which is aimed at blogging poets is Poets United which has a directory of many sites with weekly or daily prompts for poetry. I should always have enough ideas with this collection. There are also many other good sections to this site and I will be taking some time to make sure I become familiar with them all.
There is a list of 12 steps on WikiHow to help with writing poetry, including how to spark ideas.
Hopefully more new poems for the next post.
