It's taken nearly a week, but we've finally made it to our first Two-for-Tuesday prompt of the month! For those of you new to "Two-for-Tuesday" prompts, you can pick one of the prompts, try to write both, and/or try to combine them into one poem. Your choice.

For today’s Two-for-Tuesday prompt:

  • Write a lost poem. Or...
  • Write a found poem.
