2025 April PAD Challenge: Day 25
For Day 25 of the 2025 April Poem-A-Day Challenge, poets (and other memory makers) are asked to write a memory poem.
For today's prompt, write a memory poem. This is one of my favorite prompts, because all writers can take a moment to dig through their own personal memories to find a moment (or several moments) to remember and write. The memory could be from your childhood, a year ago, a month ago, or even from earlier this week.
Remember: These prompts are springboards to creativity. Use them to expand your possibilities, not limit them.

Here’s my attempt at a Memory Poem:
“upon waking from a nap,” by Robert Lee Brewer
sometimes
i admit
it takes a moment
to remember
exactly where i'm at
& what i was planning
to do
