2022 November PAD Chapbook Challenge: Day 24
For the 2022 November PAD Chapbook Challenge, poets are tasked with writing a poem a day in the month of November before assembling a chapbook manuscript in the month of December. Day 24 considers what it’s all for.
For today's prompt, take the phrase "For (blank)," replace the blanks with a word or phrase, make the new phrase the title of your poem, and then, write your poem. Possible titles might include: "For Thanksgiving," "For the Sake of the Children," "Forgive and Forget," and/or "For All the Gravy."
Remember: These prompts are springboards to creativity. Use them to expand your possibilities, not limit them.

Here’s my attempt at a For Blank Poem:
“For Whatever It Means”
For whatever it means,
I am grateful
for these moments
alone
with my words
trying to parse out
what it means
to be here
on this planet
alive
and thinking.
