April is National Poetry Month and many poetry societies and organizations offer poetry activities including prompts to write our hearts out during the month!
With that in mind, Poets Northwest will offer a prompt each day during the month - sometimes a word, sometimes a phrase, sometimes a sentence starter. Feel free to respond in prose if that works; plenty of prose becomes good poetry. Go where you will with it and enjoy:)
[Prompts will be posted the night before so early risers can access them.]
