Fifteen Reasons
Today I would like you write a list poem based on either the poem "Fifteen Reasons to Remain Silent" or the poem "Fifteen Reasons to Yell" by Harkaitz Kano:
Or a list poem inspired by "Thirteen Ways of Looking at a Blackbird" by Wallace Stevens
Thirteen Ways of Looking at a Blackbird
Your title should start with a number. Five, Ten, Fifteen, Twenty, etc. Whichever number works. Think of an idea. Ten Ways to Enjoy a Sunday, Fifteen Reasons to Leave Home, Eight Things on my To Do List, etc. and go from there.
For your enjoyment below, listen to Paul Simon's "Fifty Ways to Leave a Lover." Perhaps some might take inspiration from that. Maybe Twenty Ways to Say Good-bye, Twelve Ways to Make a Friend, etc.
Please link one poem that is your response to the material of this prompt. When you link your poem, please visit other links, in the spirit of community.
Prompts will be posted Wednesday at 11 A.M. Eastern Time, and will close Sunday night at 8 P.M. Eastern time.
