Wow! Day 10 already! I don't know how to feel about being one-third of the way through this challenge already. If only there were a prompt for getting to the bottom of that...
For today’s prompt, pick an emotion, make it the title of your poem, and then, write your poem. Possible titles might include: "Happy," "Sad," "Angry," or well, there's a universe of emotions out there. Here's a list of some possibilities.

Publish Your Poetry!
The 2016 Poet’s Market, edited by Robert Lee Brewer, includes hundreds of poetry markets, including listings for poetry publications, publishers, contests, and more! With names, contact information, and submission tips, poets can find the right markets for their poetry and achieve more publication success than ever before.
In addition to the listings, there are articles on the craft, business, and promotion of poetry–so that poets can learn the ins and outs of writing poetry and seeking publication. Plus, it includes a one-year subscription to the poetry-related information on WritersMarket.com. All in all, it’s the best resource for poets looking to secure publication.

between the empty I feel
at the end of a long run and
how I feel when you leave.
