Day 31 - OctPoWriMo Poetry Prompts

Well, you made it to the end of OctPoWriMo, did you write a poem every day? Did you have fun playing with your words? Whether you wrote to our prompts or not, I hope you were able to follow your words to places you've never been before, mysterious places, deep places.

If you feel like you survived OctPoWriMo 2017, grab the image and share on your page and across social media.



I found a new poetry toy today, a random word generator! What a nifty tool! Feeling stuck, need a few good words, click on the random word generator and poof, you have words to play with. I can see myself using this a lot for poetry.

Poetry Prompt Possibilities

  1. Head over to the random word generator, choose one to three words and follow where they lead you.
  2. Create an Acrostic poem from the word, Mysterious.
  3. Create a mysterious poem from the photo prompt.
  4. Or choose from our word prompts and your favorite poetry type from Shadowpoetry.com 

Word Pompts

mysteriously random
foggy night
crimson 
midnight
shadow 
smoke
raven
scarlet
umber
rust

    Posting for Sudha Reddy:

    Happy Halloween ��

    I chose mysterious prompt
    Style - acrostic

    HALLOWEEN NIGHT

    Mysterious, Halloween haunted night
    Yummy candy in a carved pumpkin bowl, bright
    Streets filled with kids, form shadows under the lantern’s light
    Trick or treating in the chilly foggy night
    Encouraging to be safe in this mysterious smoky night
    Right through the door like zombies in the silent night
    In their ghostly costumes, holding the treat bags right
    Out they go giggling with excitement not taken alight
    Undertones of exhilaration outlined as dare, fear and fight
    Shouting ‘Trick or Treat’ in the moonlit mysterious night������sr

    I want to thank you for creating the prompts. I won't be participating again officially but will probably do so unofficially in the future. I've been doing this for several years now.
