Poetry has become a daily part of my routine, more than almost anything else, and yet every time I scour the internet for fresh ideas, I find the same types of prompts. Either the prompts are too vague, too specific, or too silly. So, I made a list of my own. These are all small sentences you can use as a title or a sentence within the poem and are meant to provoke deeper thought.
My heart remembers more than my brain does
Desire vs. fear
Five ways to heal
Finding love within the mundane
Trading breath
Spring's blooming irises
You may not remember me
Silent conversations
Taking a leap of faith
Watching __ crumble away
I hope that these prompts get the gears turning. Happy writing!
