2018 PAD Challenge - Day 14, Report

From Robert Lee Brewer:

For today’s prompt, write a report poem. I know, I know: Writing a report sounds about as far away from poetry as flying is to a penguin, but many poems report on a moment or an instance or a scene. In your poem (or poems) today, report on something big and important or small and inconsequential (or small and important–or, well, you get the idea).

2018 PAD Challenge - Day 13, Insects

From Robert Lee Brewer:

For today’s prompt, pick an insect (any insect), make it the title of your poem, and then, write your poem. Possible titles include: “Praying Mantis,” “Ants,” and “Grasshoppers.” I’ll even except other creepy crawlies, like spiders, slugs, and leeches (shiver). Sorry in advance if this prompt gives you the heebie-jeebies; feel free to use insect repellent in your verse.

2018 PAD Challenge - Day 12, Lament

From Robert Lee Brewer:

For today’s prompt, write a lament poem. Maybe you lament a relationship or a missed opportunity. Or maybe it’s that doughnut (maybe speaking from personal experience). Whatever it is, today is the day to let it all out–in poem form, of course.

2018 PAD Challenge - Day 11, Warning

From Robert Lee Brewer:

For today’s prompt, write a warning poem. Warnings can be found everywhere: on the labels of medicine, in the speeches of leaders, and in the advice of parents. Even stories and poems have been known to harbor warnings.

2018 PAD Challenge - Day 10, Deal/No Deal

From Robert Lee Brewer:

For today’s Two-for-Tuesday prompt:

1.  Write a deal poem. 
2. Write a no deal poem.

2018 PAD Challenge - Day 9, Battle (blank)

From Robert Lee Brewer:

 For today’s prompt, take the phrase “Battle (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: “Battle Tested,” “Battle of the Sexes,” “Battle of the Bands,” and “Battle of the Bulge.

2018 PAD Challenge - Day 8, Family

From Robert Lee Brewer:

For today’s prompt, write a family poem. Good, bad, big, small, adopted, imaginary, nonexistent–everyone has to deal with family (even if that involves running from it or chasing it down). I have a feeling today’s prompt is going to stir up some really good poems.
