Mini Poetry Prompt - Sacred Truth

Poetry Prompt: 

What is your sacred truth, something you know without a doubt to be true or believe with all of your heart. This can be spiritual, family, life etc.

Monday's Challenge - Write a poem about your journey this week of exploring poetry.

It is time to draw this to a close

look at how you dove in head first

to make sense of what captures your heart

and turning it inside out and upside down

has your words spilling onto the page

We will continue our regularly scheduled weekly poetry prompts on Monday and link up on Thursday. Hope you had fun this week taking it deeper and exploring one of your favorite poems. Join us next month, Monday, Dec. 9th for our second week long challenge. Hope to see you there!

Monday's Challenge: Do a little research on the poet that wrote the poem you chose and tell us about them. Write a poem to the poet.

Poetry Prompt - Deep

This is later than it normally will be. I am getting used to this new schedule. This is your chance to take your time with the poetry prompt or to write more than one for it. It is your choice but you won't have to link up until Thursday in a separate post. We will be going at a slower speed than we did for OctPoWriMo except during the second week of the month when we do our challenge that will help you take your poetry even deeper.

Poetry Prompt: Deep is the ocean, deep are relationships. Free write for ten minutes about what deep means to you.

Word Prompt: Deep

Exploring Poetry Types: Every week you will have an opportunity to explore a different poetry type from Shadow Poetry. This week it is a traditional form, Nonet.

Feel free to choose to write your poetry in whatever form you choose, all of the prompts are only suggestions to help inspire and motivate you to write your poetry on the page.

Remember to come back on Thursday to link up and share your poems.

Poets on the Page

The team and I over at OctPoWriMo decided we would like to continue on inspiring and motivating other poets through challenges and poetry prompts more than just in October, hence Poets on the Page is born.

Prompts and Challenges

We will be posting our weekly poetry prompts on Mondays and linking up on Thursdays, giving you more time to work with the prompt, playing with your words and creating your poems. The second Sunday of every month we will challenge you for one full week of diving deeper into poetry.

We will be adding more pages and filling out this blog as we go along and the first prompt will be posted on Monday, November 4th.

Until then I challenge you to explore poetry through books, movies, and YouTube (slam poetry) to discover new poems/poets that inspire you.

Keep those poetry tools out, grab a cup of coffee or tea, and let's discover how deep we can go as we throw open all the doors to writing poems from the heart.
