Today’s is April Fool’s Day and for this day’s poetry prompt how about a poem about April fools, any fools, foolishness, the joke’s on you or anything else which strikes your fancy. As a fun bonus, try a poem inspired by the above photo.

If you would like another prompt you could also check out:

Robert Lee Brewer’s Poetic Asides presents the first of the National Poetry Month prompts: “For today’s prompt, write a new world poem. There are new worlds and there are new worlds. You could write a poem about discovery of an actual planet. Or maybe your new world is actually a state of mind—or a series of books! In a way, I consider each new challenge a bit of a new world. Let’s explore this one together.

Remember: These prompts are just springboards; you have the freedom to jump in any direction you want. In other words, it’s more important to write a new poem than to stick to the prompt.”

Good Luck and Happy Writing!

Monet at Night

My Post - 2019-04-04T214836.517Monet at Night

Restless in his sleep
dreaming of pastels and muted seams
lasting into the night
as he chases away the darkness
holding for the light of day

Needless to wonder
when you see the creations
those dreams become masterpieces
from the master’s restlessness
ever charging his mind
into the day of light

Is it any wonder
when I first saw his works
Monet made me cry
