Day 6-Write a narrative poem detailing a specific childhood memory

What's Up Down Under
Sweet scent
Lingering in the air; spring
Flora of every kind
Riot of colour vs
Magpie feather

Sun soaked
Sweat drenched
gold shores lined
with an assortment of men
some delighted, others deadpan

Woken by oddly comforting sounds
rythmic gallop
of horse hooves
hitting gravel
Music

Sandwich making
In the early morning
Awaiting to be ignited
By soulful adventure
Down Under

Excited hands
Child like carelessness
Too happy
Too carefree
Nickname: Butterfingers

Oops, a spill
The whisk
Too fast
What an idiot.

Day 4- Write a cinquain on a topic of your choice.

Enigma
Terrifyingly entrancing
Silent as night
Other worldly ways truly
Mystifying

***I'm doing whichever challenges which float my banana boat so they're not in order***
Day 3-Pick one line song lyric to serve as an epigraph to our poem. Then write the poem to accompany it.

"Nothing but a vision trick under the warning light"
I grew up believing in the importance of imagination
Weaving magic into thoughts and feelings
Euphoria was a spell
Tears; salty drops of elixir

Soon everything started to blur
Lines faded; disappeared
I could no longer distinguish nuances
between love and fear

Emotions mixed in a disastrous concoction
I brewed a potion
of calamity
You were the next tragedy

I couldn't read you if I tried
You were written in words I couldn't decipher
Then it dawned upon me
You had been my latest flight of fancy

I could spend eternity studying you
Examining evidence, layer by layer
All whilst ignoring those whispers telling me
You don't exist- you were never here.

Day 2- Who was the last person you texted? Write a five line poem to that person.

 In case you do not read
The poems I conjure out of bitter self contempt
In case you are unaware
Of the 4 am paroxysm- daunting catharsis in my head
You're the inspiration of it all

Due to issues pertaining to extreme boredom I shall do the 30 Day Poetry Challenge. Hopefully I can complete this. #goals Prompts can get really useful when it comes to letting creative juices flow.

Day 1: Write a poem where each line starts with a letter from your first name (an acrostic). It can be about anything but it should not be about your name.

 Always the one seeking
Requiem
Innermost desires left unheard
Not a sound, not
A single word
