Introduction

Hi, I am Tonet. I have been always asked why I write poems and my answer is always, “I write poetry when I am bored.”

Prompts for the First Hour

For the second year in a row we are offering word and image prompts. The first prompt every hour will be text based (with occasional variations), and the second, if you scroll down, will be image based. You can choose either prompt or not use prompts at all (or only sporadically). All images are either taken from unsplash, or contributed by a poetry marathoner with credit.

Text Prompt

Write a poem about being in water. It can be about swimming, the shower, a bath, the rain, etc.
