2023 November PAD Chapbook Challenge: Day 7
For the 2023 November PAD Chapbook Challenge, poets are tasked with writing a poem a day in the month of November before assembling a chapbook manuscript in the month of December. Day 7 is the first Two-for-Tuesday prompt.
Once we make it through today, we'll be finished with the first week of this challenge. Yay!
And as luck would have it, today is the first Two-for-Tuesday prompt. Write to one prompt, both prompts, and/or combine them:
- Write a big poem, or...
- Write a small poem.
Remember: These prompts are springboards to creativity. Use them to expand your possibilities, not limit them.

“To Those Who Say to Go Big or Go Home”
A soft breeze filters through an open window as I snooze on my sofa.
