Wednesday Poetry Prompts: 667
For this week’s prompt, write a restless poem. Generally, I admit that I’m very much a homebody. But there are times when I get restless and need to get out and about. Also, I know people who are not homebodies who thrive on adventure because of their restless spirit. Write a poem that taps into this feeling.
Remember: These prompts are springboards to creativity. Use them to expand your possibilities, not limit them.

Here’s my attempt at a Restless Poem:
“junior at the restaurant,” by Robert Lee Brewer
he picks up his spoon & drops it
then he knocks the fork to the floor
before swinging the plate over his head
& laughing all the way home
