2023 November PAD Chapbook Challenge: Day 16
Well, I believe many of us have a newfound respect for the importance of pronouns when poeming after yesterday’s prompt. Feel free to bring them back today.
For today’s prompt, write an animal poem. Your poem can be about an animal (or animals), feature one in passing, and/or be written from the perspective of an animal. Your poem, your call.
Remember: These prompts are springboards to creativity. Use them to expand your possibilities, not limit them.

Here’s my attempt at an Animal Poem:
“Owl”
I call out once at night
before my noiseless flight
over the forest floor
ever hungering more.
