The Poetteer

Hello Poetteers, Last month I told you there would be a change in the prompts. I'm going from having daily prompts to weekly prompts. #dailypoetrygram will be retiring after a year of prompts. There is a hope that each month will have its own hashtag unique to the prompts. The May prompts and poems have a new hashtag. You can repost my challenge graphic on your Instagram profile for reference. Share the poems on Instagram using  #ThreadsOfPoetry and tag me @poetfida. For in-depth questions to help with these word prompts you can purchase the poetry bundle . These questions are here to guide you in writing your poem.
