The Poet’s Lens

Write a poem to explain what you think a poet’s thought process is like when writing a poem.

A poet’s world is filled with a careful selection of words and a myriad of emotions. Behind every verse, there’s a story, an emotion, a unique perspective. In this prompt, challenge yourself to step into a poet’s shoes and craft a piece that depicts how they might construct a poem, combining inspiration, emotions, images, words, and rhythm. It’s an exploration not only in empathy and imagination but in the mechanics of poetry itself.
