Poetry Prompts Day 14 - OctPoWriMo 2016

Hello, fellow poets! I trust you are finding ways to stay inspired as we continue this daily challenge. Let's get right to today's prompt...

The Prompt: What does the word "shameful" bring to mind for you? I found two quotes from nineteenth century French writer Victor Hugo that seem to capture my own thoughts on this word. Take a few minutes to free write and see where this leads you. Is it something you've done? Something that was done to you? Something you've observed on either a small, personal scale or large corporate or government level?

Word Prompts:
shameful
disgraceful
notorious
reprehensible
depraved

Suggested Poetic Form: Villanelle

Music for your Muse

Brian Justin Crum - Creep (Radiohead Cover)

Fats Domino - Ain't That A Shame

Remember, our prompts are only suggestions, where you find inspiration for your poetry is up to you.

During OctPoWriMo, if you want to make sure that we know you have written something new, comment in that day's post with your link to your blog and/or share your link on Twitter with the hashtag, #OctPoWriMo.

If you would like to leave an active link in the comments:

You have to put the link to your post (same link you would put in the comment section) in the, "your link" space within the quotations and the title to your post in the, your title, space.

I hope that helps. You don't have to do this, it is only if you would like to make your link an active link.
