Wednesday Poetry Prompts: 633
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 warm up poem.
Time is weird. Somehow, it feels like it's been a month, a week, but also, only a day since we last poemed together. Now that we're through November, let's get back on our weekly Wednesday pace again.
For this week's prompt, write a warm up poem. The poem could be about doing a warm up for an athletic activity or live performance. Or it could be about warming up a room with a fire; maybe warming up a relationship. Take it as you will, but then, write your poem!
Remember: These prompts are springboards to creativity. Use them to expand your possibilities, not limit them.

Here’s my attempt at a Warm Up Poem:
“on the stage,” by Robert Lee Brewer
she lifts her voice up
and brings it down low
before swinging it
up and down and back.
then, she takes a breath
and begins to sing.
