Wednesday Poetry Prompts: 662
For this week’s prompt, write a short note poem. Simple as it sounds. Write a poem that could read as a short note. Who is the note to? Who wrote the note? And, of course, what is the intent of the note? Dream up the answers to these questions and more in your poem.
Remember: These prompts are springboards to creativity. Use them to expand your possibilities, not limit them.

Here’s my attempt at a Short Note Poem:
“dear reader,” by Robert Lee Brewer
the sun was too bright
& breeze blowing through
the window too light
for me to not leave you
this note instead of me
wandering out & away
from this room you see
into the beautiful day
