This book will make you think about poems in a new way, while giving you new (and established) ways to write poems.

A simple, fun, enriching prompt book that will give you eight ways to write poems you can love (16 ways, if you count the bonus prompts)—includes sections called: Catalog poems, What is Poetry, Why Poetry, Sonnets, Resolutions, Sestinas, Villanelles, and By Heart.

An excellent resource for writers, poets, teachers, writing groups. Easy to use over an 8-week period—to explore, learn and grow.

You'll love the sample poems too, from "Morning Argument" where she is "pretty in red," to the Cheetos sonnet (See? Sonnets can be fun.) Includes beautiful photos throughout (okay, the Persian cat is more amusing than beautiful, but who says amusement isn't lovely?).

Full of links to extra resources including a page-turner story series on 'Why Poetry,' by Laura Boggess, this prompt book is just the start.
