I have been SO BUSY doing poetic things this month, I have forgotten to let you guys know what *I* am doing
This is the first year I have not ordered a National Poetry month in time for April, so I just did. If it’s still available, it says it will take 4-6 weeks to get here.
A CHALLENGE TO MYSELF:
Write 1 poem or haiku every day in April based on poetry prompts you guys send me 🙂
Today’s prompt is to write a poem and to include the words “be kind” in your poem.
These are Kurt Vonnegut’s words, from his 1965 novel, God Bless You, Mr. Rosewater, or Pearls Before Swine
I used this song as the dance with my Dad at my wedding 🙂
Poetry Prompt: Write a poem about your first kiss
It really is snowing this morning! 😛
Poetry Prompt: Go through an older poetry notebook and REVISE a past poem that you think needs a change
I’ve done this one A LOT 🙂
FOR ALL my readers, writers, lurkers I have a question: do you think the poetry prompts I post are too general? I got ONE COMMENT that they were. Is there anything you would like to see on Words of TheVal2000?
(I want to be this good!)

Roller skating poetry prompt #21
Ungraceful
by Valeri Beers
I want
the
music
speed.
To dance
on
wheels
Look at me
I want
to skate
with
my girl
I don’t want
to be
a
wallflower.
I
rolled rather
ungracefully
from
here to there.

Earth poetry prompt #22 (rough draft)
I
don’t like
your cousin,
Mother Nature.
She made
it snow
too much.
It’s
STILL cold
out.
Can
Summer
come out
&
play?
——————————————————————————————————
car race poetry prompt #18
It
was ugly
but
it
won.
Start to finish
it dominated.
It
was all
him.
Last minute
adjustments.
Judges
watching
talking
debating

Here’s a rough draft of a dream poem I wrote:

by Valeri Beers
weird dreams
spinning & kissing
moonlight

mother-in-law’s
lawn
hood of car
hugging you
close
It’s Earth Day 🙂
Poetry Prompt: Write a poem about the Earth as if it were a real person in your life 🙂 And not necessarily your “Mother” 😉
