We post a new writing prompt every month for our call for submissions for the next month's issue.
There are prompts on our main website going back to 1998. If you are looking for inspiration, try one of these writing prompts from our archive. You get a prompt, model poems, and examples of how other poets have responded with their own interpretations. Many of those prompts also appear on this blog.
Prompts aren't magical ways to beat writer's block, and they don't work for everyone, but they can be helpful. Prompts can help you think outside the box and explore different themes and topics. Regularly responding to prompts can improve your writing style, tone, and technique.
I think they might be most useful because they can push you to try new genres, formats, or styles you might not have attempted otherwise.
Follow this blog for all things poetry.
