Wednesday Poetry Prompts: 665
For this week’s prompt, write a portal poem. My first thought with portal is some swirly hole in the sky that will take me to another dimension, but portals are simply entrances. So a door can be a portal; a gate can be a portal; the opening to a cave could conceivably be a portal.
Also, any number of swirly holes in the sky or random objects could act as portals. So poem with portals this week.
Remember: These prompts are springboards to creativity. Use them to expand your possibilities, not limit them.

Here’s my attempt at a Portal Poem:
“muleta,” by Robert Lee Brewer
she opened the door
& i wandered through
sliding on the floor
as she bid adieu
