Wednesday Poetry Prompts: 677
For this week's prompt, write an anxiety poem. One person's excitement is another's anxiety (and sometimes the same person can feel both at the same time). So think about anxiety and poem your way through it.
Remember: These prompts are springboards to creativity. Use them to expand your possibilities, not limit them.
