Wednesday Poetry Prompts: 748
Every Wednesday, poets from around the world can find a Wednesday Poetry Prompt at Writer’s Digest. This week, write a vacation poem.
For this week's prompt, write a vacation poem. Maybe you've been on a vacation this summer; maybe you've been on a vacation some other time; or maybe you've never been on a vacation. Regardless, the idea of going on vacation is one that can seem amazing to some and stressful to others. And well, vacation could also refer to vacating as well...so, as always, have fun exploring the space.
Remember: These prompts are springboards to creativity. Use them to expand your possibilities, not limit them.

Here’s my attempt at a Vacation Poem:
“Staycation,” by Robert Lee Brewer
No need for a ticket
on a plane or a train;
no rental car needed
to drive us all insane.
We can deliver thrills
from the comfort of home
and order a pizza
by website or by phone,
and if we start stirring
until we feel crazy,
we can leave for a bit
until we feel lazy.
