Wednesday Poetry Prompts: 632
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 creepy poem.
Today's our final Wednesday Poetry Prompt until December. Beginning on Tuesday (11/1), I hope you'll join me for this year's November Poem-A-Day Chapbook Challenge.
For this week's prompt, write a creepy poem. It's that time of year to think of the creepiest things and write them out. Perhaps you'll pen a new urban legend in verse. Or maybe you'll make a free verse monstrosity. Poem if you dare!
Remember: These prompts are springboards to creativity. Use them to expand your possibilities, not limit them.

Here’s my attempt at a Creepy Poem:
“the stakes,” by Robert Lee Brewer
in the night beneath a full moon,
there's an autumn fire burning bright
with wondrous words to make you swoon.
in the night, beneath a full moon,
a shadow fades away too soon
beneath the sun's reflected light.
in the night beneath a full moon,
autumn's on fire and burning bright.
