Crafting Your Poem

In honor of World Poetry Day, write your own poem, focusing on a theme of your choice.

This prompt is all about the joy of creating. Consider a theme you wish to address—it could be love, loss, nature, memory, or anything else you feel strongly about. Write a poem, focusing not just on the theme, but exploring different styles, rhythm, and the use of metaphor and simile. Reflect on the process itself: what it means to express your emotions and ideas in such a condensed, potent manner.
