NaPoWriMo: 30 NEW Writing Prompts for National Poetry Month 2011

16. Make a list of ten images of things you have seen in the last 24 hours. Use all of them in a poem.

OURS ARE... YARD SALES, CITY STREETS, FLOWERS, TRAFFIC, MAP, BREAKFAST, NEWS PAPER, MOUNTAINS, ALPINE, EL CAJON...


While leaving the mountains
is not my cup of tea
I wanted to go to play
just my Momma and me

So we bought a news paper 
and looked in the map
to see all the places
the yard sales were at

We first went to Alpine
its close to our home
then in to El Cajon
we decided to roam

Breakfast at Denny's
is our special treat
then fighting the traffic
on the hot city streets

We had a great time
and spent a few hours
But I was glad to get back
to my cool garden of flowers


LOL
YOUR TURN
ENJOY

    I love these writing prompts. You're poem is so cute. I'd feel the same way. There's no place like home and sitting in the shade of you garden on a hot day.
    Thanks for passing along the Writing Prompts info. to me btw. I really appreciate it.

    I love it. I wondered if you went to yard sales yesterday. We're having quite a few here. Got to get to some soon. Susie
