    If you're not aware, April is National Poetry Writing Month! The goal is to try and write a poem a day! It doesn't have to be about anything in particular, but it would be kind of neat if we all used prompts for each day, but you don't have to! I'll leave the prompts open, up to anyone to throw one out, so even if you're not participating in napowrimo or for the day, come up with a prompt for the rest of us! I hope to see the site flooded with poems this month!!

    Since it's the first day, I'll go first with a prompt.

    Prompt (Day 1): Write about what the month of april means to you!

    Also I’ll come up with day 2 prompt!!

    DAY 2:

    Here is a link for a post from instagram, an artwork by Marcel van Luit; a contemporary visual artist:

    Most of the times I’m not interested in such things, but I stumbled on his account once and I loved it. It was hard to choose a post, then the caption won me over.

    I hope his piece inspires at least one poem :)
