*****Need a spark of poetic creativity?*****
April’s optional prompt invites you to write about "Cake." In celebration of three sweet years of Poetry Open Mic Nights. Cake is more than flour and frosting; it marks moments that matter, showing up at birthdays, anniversaries, weddings, and quiet kitchen tables where something small becomes worth celebrating. Write about the rituals of gathering, the people who show up, and the memories layered between each slice. Write about sweetness and joy, but also what’s hidden beneath the icing. The effort, the mess, the passage of time. Write about candles and silent wishes, the first bite or the last slice, and what we choose to celebrate—and why. And yes… There will very likely be real cake to enjoy.
Poetry prompts are optional and just here to help. Feel free to express yourself with any piece you choose—even if it's completely unrelated to the prompt.
