Wednesday Poetry Prompts: 730
For this week’s prompt, write a valentine poem. Write your valentine for a special someone or a group of someones. Another option is to write about the abundance or lack of valentines you receive. Or, well, as always, take this prompt in new directions.
Remember: These prompts are springboards to creativity. Use them to expand your possibilities, not limit them.

Here’s my attempt at a Valentine Poem:
“valentine,” by Robert Lee Brewer
the only word i can use
to describe this silence
between us is happiness
an abstraction rushing
through the haunted
forest of my heart
