Hello Poets!

Today I was reminded of an old Sesame Street cartoon about a girl sent to the store by her mother for (you know it?) a loaf of bread, a container of milk, and a stick of butter. The rhythm of this list is so memorable that I still recite today when I go to the store! Your prompt for today is to write a poem that contains the following items:

bread, milk, and butter

Alternatively, write a poem that conatins a shopping list.

Follow this link to the classic video.

We at the Billow will be celebrating National Poetry Month by attempting to complete the April Poetry Challenge–write a poem a day for the month! For the next 30 days we will share prompts with you in the hope that maybe you, too, will find your way to the page.

Day 1: Write a poem about a thunderstorm without using the words rain, thunder, or lightning.

Write on!
