Wednesday Poetry Prompts: 726
Every Wednesday, Robert Lee Brewer shares a prompt and an example poem to get things started for poets. This week, write a dream poem.
Lately, I've been having a lot of very vivid dreams, sooooo...
For this week's prompt, write a dream poem. The poem could be about something that happens in a dream, is dream-like, or maybe is just a "dream" scenario (like about your dream job, vacation, partner, etc.). Have fun getting dreamy this week.
Remember: These prompts are springboards to creativity. Use them to expand your possibilities, not limit them.
