A Poetry Writing Prompt-A-Day: Submit Yours!

As part of National Poetry Month Poetry Super Highway will offer our 10th annual Poetry Writing Prompt-a-Day beginning on April 1st. Where will we get these prompts? From you, of course! Submit your best poetry writing prompt in the form below.

We’re looking for prompts that provide specific direction…a writing exercise. We’re unlikely to use prompts that consist only of a phrase or a poem or a section of a poem. Please give a writing exercise. You can use an example but the entire prompt should not be the example.

See last year’s writing prompts here.

  • We're looking for prompts that provide specific direction...a writing exercise. We're unlikely to use prompts that consist only of a phrase or a poem or a section of a poem. Please give a writing exercise with specific direction, not just an idea to respond to. You can use an example but the entire prompt should not be the example.

    Please note this is not a form to submit your poetry.
