2020 November PAD Chapbook Challenge: Day 24
For the 2020 November PAD Chapbook Challenge, poets write a poem a day in the month of November before assembling a chapbook manuscript in the month of December. Today’s two-for-Tuesday prompt is to write a love and/or anti-love poem.
Today is the final two-for-Tuesday prompt day (and it's the one I share every challenge). You can pick one prompt, pick both prompts, or even write one poem that attempts to do them both.
For today’s prompt:
- Write a love poem, and/or...
- Write an anti-love poem.
Remember: These prompts are springboards to creativity. Use them to expand your possibilities, not limit them.

Here’s my attempt at a Love and/or Anti-Love Poem:
“opposite day”
tomatoes aren't red
& the sky ain't blue
you lost your head
& i never loved you
