Category: April is National Poetry month
Poetry Prompt #4
Makeup
Here’s my haiku:
Your Makeup is Terrible
Sometimes I wear it.
I do my makeup badly.
I love you anyway.
April is National Poetry month
I will take part in Mike Maggio’s 30 for 30 poetry celebration/contest.
I will try to write poems based on poetry prompts.
National Poetry Month doin’s
I have been SO BUSY doing poetic things this month, I have forgotten to let you guys know what *I* am doing
- Going to a poetry slam later this week, not sure what I will read yet. (I’ll let you know how it goes)
- I have been posting a poetry prompt EVERY DAY over at Poetry Pasta (www.poetrypasta.wordpress.com)
- An unexpected call from a friend and poet, Ed 🙂 Got a book of his poetry from years ago. Gave him a copy of …details…
- Discovered a poet, Scott Thomas Outlar on Youtube 🙂
- Participating in the 30 for 30 contest (by Mike Maggio)
National Poetry month poster
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.
National Poetry Month 2017
A CHALLENGE TO MYSELF:
Write 1 poem or haiku every day in April based on poetry prompts you guys send me 🙂
Poetry Prompt #29
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 #25
Poetry Prompt: Write a poem about your first kiss
Poetry Prompt #24
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?

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
