Day Eleven

Happy Thursday, all, and welcome back for Day 11 of Na/GloPoWriMo.

Our featured participant for the day is The Cynical Optimist, where you’ll find a comic poem based in multiple animal-involving headlines in response to Day 10’s “news that stays news” prompt.

Today’s resource is grieftolight, an Instagram account where you will find a wealth of poems.

Finally, our optional prompt for the day honors the “ones” in the number 11. Today, we’d like to challenge you to write either a monostich, which is a one-line poem, or a poem made up of one-liner style jokes/sentiments. Need inspiration? Take a look at Joe Brainard’s poem “30 One-Liners” or Frank O’Hara’s “Lines for the Fortune Cookies.”

Happy writing!
