2021 April PAD Challenge: Day 20
Write a poem every day of April with the 2021 April Poem-A-Day Challenge. For today’s prompt, write a Love and/or Anti-Love poem.
And somehow we're already on our third Two-for-Tuesday prompt of the month. This is the one that shows up each and every April.
For this Two-for-Tuesday 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:
"even the moon"
even the moon needs time away
from lovers occasionally
whether they're pining or swooning
though sometimes it can't stay away
& you'll find the moon in the day
reflecting the things lovers say
