Wednesday Poetry Prompts: 664
For this week’s prompt, write an expectation poem. Expecting what? That’s your task. Sometimes we expect good things; sometimes we expect bad times; and sometimes we have no expectations at all. But I’ll admit that I’m expecting some good poems this week.
Remember: These prompts are springboards to creativity. Use them to expand your possibilities, not limit them.

Here’s my attempt at an Expectation Poem:
“for what,” by Robert Lee Brewer
every day i don’t know what
to expect from my everyday
events but i do know who
will be by my side every day
to measure the minute mo-
ments & minutes counting
