Woman, Overboard! National Poetry Month, Day 17
Today’s prompt word from the Verse of Ages Poetry Prompts for April 2025 is overboard. This is the list from which my poetry prompt has been obtained each day. I am proud of being halfway through the month and being able to write a poem a day this year, so far. Here are the poems…

Verse of Ages Poetry Prompt for National Poetry Month on April 12, 2025
Today, I am traveling. I know what you’re thinking – hasn’t she had enough travel? Well, I’m on my way to see my oldest son in Colorado. I drove from Northern Wisconsin to the airport in Minneapolis – St. Paul. I was here by 10 a.m. It’s a three-hour drive. I was tired most of…
National Poetry Month, 2025. Day 11, Cascade
Waterfalls are soothing, inspiring, and sometimes triggering. Today’s post is brief. I wrote (and said) too much yesterday. Thanks for stopping by. I love waterfalls. We’ve seen some beautiful ones in Hawaii, Colorado, and Minnesota. The word for today’s poetry prompt is cascade. The haiku came easily today; I am awash in emotion. Note: I…
National Poetry Month, Day 10, 4/10/2025
I’m very much up in the air about Poetry Friday this week. I guess I’ll decide whether to post before the day is over. Last week, I posted just before 3 pm on Friday (2 pm my time), and it turned out to be too little, too late. Hey, I know we’re all busy. And,…
National Poetry Month: Day 8

National Poetry Month: Day 5
I’m continuing with the prompts I’m using for National Poetry Month. I wish the word for today were disgruntled because that is how I’m feeling. Yesterday was a very frustrating on many levels, including (or maybe, especially) writing and poetry. Here is today’s poem for those who are interested. (Thank you.) Tomorrow will be a…

National Poetry Month 2025: Day 2
Today’s word from the Verse of Ages Poetry Prompts is bob. I took liberty with the word and turned it into a proper noun rather than a verb, which I think the prompt was meant to be. Merriam-Webster has seven definitions of the word bob. I did use the word as a verb, too. Collection…
