Wednesday Poetry Prompts: 720
Wow! It feels so long since our last Wednesday Poetry Prompt (almost like another time and place), but it’s only been a little over a month. So weird how time works at times.
For this week’s prompt, write an undiscovered poem. Your poem could be about discovering a previously undiscovered photograph, diary, video, hidden room, painting, etc. Or it could be an imagined “undiscovered” poem. Or maybe a real undiscovered poem, since we’re finding them all together with this prompt.
Remember: These prompts are springboards to creativity. Use them to expand your possibilities, not limit them.

It’s free, easy, and the comments (for the most part) don’t require manual approval (though I check from time to time for those that do).

Here’s my attempt at an Undiscovered Poem:
“or less,” by Robert Lee Brewer
the older i get the more
i realize how hard it is
to find those undiscovered
moments to feel more
than just alive on this rock
orbiting a giant ball of gas
so let’s get lost together
in these undiscovered
moments to find more
