Wednesday Poetry Prompts: 553
For today's prompt, write a do-over poem. Your poem could be about doing something over again, like retaking a test or retrying a game (hoping for a better result). Or you could grab a poem you (or another person) wrote and try a do-over in writing it from a new perspective or in a different style.
Remember: These prompts are springboards to creativity. Use them to expand your possibilities, not limit them.

Here’s my attempt at a Do-over Poem:
“Alls Clear”
The deer hesitate,
because there's a wolf.
The deer hesitate,
because there's a bear.
The deer hesitate,
because there's a man
with a gun who looks
like me but isn't me.
The deer hesitate,
because they're deer,
and they've learned
it's never all clear.
(Do-over poem of my poem from last week.)
