Poetry Prompts Day 24 - OctPoWriMo 2016

It seems there was a miscommunication about yesterday's post and I worked 11 hours so I didn't even notice. Sorry about that folks.

As I am exhausted beyond reason at the moment, I'm going to leave you with the definition of today's prompt: Fantastical - and you can choose one of them and write from there. I hope you have a wonderful week.

Fantastical Definition from Dictionary.com


1.conceived or appearing as if conceived by an unrestrained imagination;odd and remarkable; bizarre; grotesque:fantastic rock formations; fantastic designs.2.fanciful or capricious, as persons or their ideas or actions:We never know what that fantastic creature will say next.3.imaginary or groundless in not being based on reality; foolish orirrational:fantastic fears.4.extravagantly fanciful; marvelous.5.incredibly great or extreme; exorbitant:to spend fantastic sums of money.6.highly unrealistic or impractical; outlandish:a fantastic scheme to make a million dollars betting on horse races.7.Informal. extraordinarily good:a fantastic musical.
Remember, our prompts are only suggestions, where you find inspiration for your poetry is up to you.

Suggested poetry type: Lento (I tried to find a fantastical poetry type)

Word Prompts:

Mistakes
Crazy
Chaos
extraordinary
marvelous

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:

<a href = "your link">your title</a>

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.

Our link would look like this:

<a href="https://poetsonthepage.blogspot.com/">OctPoWriMo</a>

Once you hit publish on your comment it would look like this (only with the name of your post):

OctPoWriMo

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.

Remember to visit two or more OctPoWriMo participants and leave encouraging and supportive words along the way.

Peace,

  3. Well, I've been sick with a bad cold and have fallen behind. Maybe today and tomorrow, the poetry will fly 'fantastically'. Posted two today. Hope to read more this afternoon. May your week go well.

    1. We post prompts all year long but it's usually weekly. Only October is everyday.
