For the 2019 November PAD Chapbook Challenge, poets are tasked with writing a poem a day in the month of November before assembling a chapbook manuscript in the month of December. Today’s prompt is to write a Gratitude Poem.
For today’s prompt, write a gratitude poem. Find something to be grateful about. Or write about how finding even one thing is a difficult proposition. Just so you know, I’m grateful for everyone writing poems and sharing feedback this month.
Quick note on commenting: I’m not sure how fast the comments will approve. I’m hoping they’ll display immediately, but if they go into moderation, just know that I’ll approve each and every one (that’s not spammy or offensive) as soon as I’m able.
Recreate Your Poetry!
Revision doesn’t have to be a chore—something that has to be done after the joy of the first draft. In fact, revision should be viewed as an enjoyable extension of the creation process—something that you want to experience after the joy of the first draft.
Learn the three rules of revision, seven revision filters, common excuses for avoiding revision (and how to overcome them), and more in this power-packed poetry revision tutorial.
Here’s my attempt at a Gratitude Poem:
“Gratitude”
Thank you for the silence
on this beautiful day
and for letting me sleep
while you quietly play.
