Wednesday Poetry Prompts: 691
For this week’s prompt, write a spring poem. The pollen is starting to make itself known in my neck of the country. As are the birds. And the bees. And, well, you know, spring is beginning to spring in Georgia, and soon it will be spreading everywhere. So write a poem about it.
Remember: These prompts are springboards to creativity. Use them to expand your possibilities, not limit them.

Here’s my attempt at a Spring Poem:
“Top of the Morning,” by Robert Lee Brewer
I’m surely no spring chicken
nor egg that’s just now hatched,
but what was I even thinkin’
when I left the door unlatched?
Now the cat is in the garden,
and the dog is runnin’ loose
with its slobberin’ and barkin’
at every honkin’ goose.
