Happy Sunday!

Today’s a quickie.


Day 7: Prompt

Write a poem that speaks to a broader world/societal issue.

Here are some examples (content warning, for some):

  • The Billions, Libby Hart

  • The Dante Poem to End Dante Poems, Anthony Sutton

  • How to Walk Home Alone Safely Post-Sunset, Camryn Prince

  • Quarantine, Jody Chan

  • Winds Are Named for the Direction They Are Heading, Shareen K. Murayama

  • Why I Didn’t Say No, Sara Pirkle

  • Recompense for Damage, Michael Akuchie


I hope you’ll try out this prompt, and I’ll see you tomorrow with the next one.
