We are 1/12 completed with 2025; one egg of the dozen has hatched; 11 chickens remain. Your prompt is fractions -> write a poem where there is a clear first and second half / some sort of transition in mood or voice or imagery. Good luck!

What's your catch-phrase? Something you are fond of saying? Incorporate that into your next poem!
If nothing comes to mind, scroll down to quote generator at the bottom of the screen and grab some inspiration from that! happy poeting!

The little space between now and then ~ time personified or objectified or otherwise used metaphorically! That is your poetry prompt for the day!

Anyone willing to take the challenge of a Poem every week for 2025? There's no better time to start than right now!
Your first poetry prompt... Write a poem as a letter addressed to 2024, or to 2025, or both!
Here's to a new year, new poetry, new prompts, and all the beautiful twinkling lights between yesterday and today, today and tomorrow.
Messenger Will every week have a prompt?

alliyah I usually forget to do prompts at some point, but we'll try! Collecting some reinforcements to help me this year from Poetry Crew. Poems can be written for the prompt, or just stand-alone works!

Stars shine in the night sky
they're bright and shiny
always up there are they
right next to the planets
you see some of them fall.
Not only stars and moon up there
I see satellites and rockets.
Going to sleep isn't never easy
happy to see souls up there
they don't speek
they protect us everyday.

Mother dearest
You live inside of my heart
And inside my heart, I made a special place, just for you
So that you could live inside of my heart and be left in peace
Mother dearest
You don't have to worry about pollution and violence
Because there is no pollution or violence inside of my
Heart
Mother dearest
You are now an angel with wings
And inside of my heart, you can fly
Mother dearest
Inside of my heart
I created a garden for you so that you could smell the flowers any time That you like
Mother dearest
You can sleep near that pond there
Because near the pond it is always cooler than in the garden
Mother dearest
I forgot to tell you about the sky inside of my heart
In that sky you will see stars that
Shine like diamonds
Mother dearest
I will always love you
From the bottom of my heart

Do you want to receive quality, in-depth reviews on your poetry? In the midst of RevMo, the mod team is hosting a special poetry based reviewing event for committed poets, wanting to write and receive in-depth and quality reviews.
What is the event?
For this event, you will submit one of your poems to be reviewed. This can be a work you have published on YWS previously, or a new one that you publish for this event. You will be assigned to leave two quality and in depth reviews on two other poems that have been submitted for the event. In return, you will also receive two in-depth reviews on your poem, from other participants.
What exactly is an in depth and quality review?
This is a review that is written after closely reading the poem, analyzing the content the best you can, and should include impressions, critiques, compliments, quotes, and follow an organized structure. It should be long enough to include and cover all of these points. It is not a review that is written in a few minutes, rather it is something that takes time and effort, basically- the best review you can write! Reviews written with AI are considered Review Spam and are not allowed.
You will receive your asssigned poems to review on September 15th. Your two reviews must be submitted by September 27th.
How do I sign up?
Sign ups will be open from September 1st to 14th and there is a limit of 12 spots available. To sign up, please send a security deposit of 1000 points to PoetryBot. Once you complete your two reviews for the event, you will get all of these points returned to you, if you don't complete your reviews, you will not receive the points back. Also, by September 12th, please PM @EllieMae with a link to the poem that you would like to have reviewed. It must be published on YWS.
If you have any questions, please reply to this post, or PM. one of the event organizers, @/EllieMae, @/alliyah, or @/OrabellaAvenue.

Ever heard something incorrectly, and realized what you heard wrongly was actually more poetic? Well write a poem inspired by that experience (or an imagined experience!)
