Three things

From Sue:  As you read this (try not to cheat) select 3 items in your reach.

Place them in front of you and compose anything about them
- can they be on an adventure together?
- do they have feelings?
- do you have feelings about the items?
- if you had to describe them to a child or alien or blind person

Literally show us how odd the situation is.

PAD Challenge Day 30: Praise

From Writer's Digest PAD Challenge:

We’ve made it through from the beginning of the month to the end (and some have been here an extra 10 days on top of that). And for that, I am thankful. Here’s to another day, another month, and another year of poeming together!

For today’s prompt, write a praise poem. Praise your health or the taste of chocolate cake. Pen an ode to normalcy (whatever that is) or expound on the wonders of your favorite pen (for me, it’s either the Pilot G-2 or Pilot Precise V5). Have a favorite song? A favorite saying? Today is a perfect day to sing its praises.

Remember: These prompts are just springboards; you have the freedom to jump in any direction you want. In other words, it’s more important to write a new poem than to stick to the prompt.

From Writer's Digest PAD Challenge:

We’re almost there. Let’s do this.

For today’s prompt, take the phrase “Total (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 could include: “Total Madness,” “Total Victory,” “Totally Awesome,” and/or “Total Cereal.”

Remember: These prompts are just springboards; you have the freedom to jump in any direction you want. In other words, it’s more important to write a new poem than to stick to the prompt.
