2018 PAD Challenge - Day 7, Senses

From Robert Lee Brewer:

For today’s prompt, write a senses poem. That is, write a poem that uses one or more of your senses. Smell, taste, touch, sound, sight, or even a sixth sense. Focus in on one of them or try to incorporate them all.

2018 PAD Challenge - Day 6, Food

From Robert Lee Brewer:

For today’s prompt, pick a food, make it the title of your poem, and write your poem. It can be a food you love, food you hate, or food you’ve never even tried before. Your poem can be about the food–or not. Your choice.

2018 PAD Challenge - Day 5, Intelligence

From Robert Lee Brewer:

For today’s prompt, write an intelligence poem. Of course, intelligence is subjective. What is common sense for one person makes no sense to another. But intelligence is more than IQ and test scores. There’s artificial intelligence, intelligent animals, and military intel. And I’ve found that many poets have a special intelligence.

2018 PAD Challenge - Day 4, Case...

From Robert Lee Brewer:

We’re now 4 days into this challenge, which means we’re developing a routine. Let’s keep the momentum going.

For today’s prompt, take the phrase “Case (blank);” replace the blank with a word or phrase; make the new phrase the title of your poem; and then, write your poem. Possible titles include: “Case of Water,” “Case in Point,” “Case Study,” and “Case of the Missing Person.”

I hope everyone has a case of easy poeming today!

2018 PAD Challenge - Day 2, Portrait Poem

From Robert Lee Brewer:

For today’s prompt, write a portrait poem. You can use an actual portrait to write an ekphrastic poem. Or think up an image from real life. Or fake life. Or don’t be so literal; instead of writing a poem that describes a portrait, use the poem to frame a moment or lifestyle or whatever. By the way, how many times did I type “or” in this paragraph?

It's HEERRREEEE!!!! April 30 Day Challenge. Given that my instructor is coming down from CT to test two of my students for black belt this month, I'm afraid this may be a month of  "used" poems or haiku/senryu! LOL. But I'll give it a go!!

From Robert Lee Brewer:

For today’s prompt, write a secret poem. This poem can reveal a secret, incorporate a secret activity, or involve any other secret interpretation. Poem written in code (acrostic, anyone?) or with double meanings.
