Wednesday Poetry Prompts: 604
Every Wednesday, Robert Lee Brewer shares a prompt and an example poem to get things started on the Poetic Asides blog. This week, write a spring poem.
For today's prompt, write a spring poem. Regardless of what your local groundhog prognosticated on February 2, the first day of spring is nearly upon us. So it's a perfect time to write a springtime poem.
Remember: These prompts are springboards to creativity. Use them to expand your possibilities, not limit them.

and flowers, of course, they bloom,
but time and temps advancing
mean migraines and certain doom.
