2023 November PAD Chapbook Challenge: Day 14
It’s hard to believe, but we’re already finishing the second week of this challenge. Good poeming!
Today is the first Two-for-Tuesday prompt, and it’s my favorite recurring prompt:
Write a love poem, or…Write an anti-love poem.
Remember: These prompts are springboards to creativity. Use them to expand your possibilities, not limit them.

Write a poem every single day of the year with Robert Lee Brewer’s Poem-a-Day: 365 Poetry Writing Prompts for a Year of Poeming. After sharing more than a thousand prompts and prompting thousands of poems for more than a decade, Brewer picked 365 of his favorite poetry prompts here.

Here’s my attempt at a Love and/or Anti-Love Poem:
“Seasons”
The way an autumn wind pulls
all the color from a trembling tree
before soaking it in rain is nothing
contrasted to the lone thought of losing
even one day with you beside me
as approaching winter cools.
