Poetry 101 Rehab: Right

Do you miss the Writing 201: Poetry course by the Daily Post? Then join this blogging challenge, Poetry 101 Rehab, that will provide your poetry fix!

How it works

Each Monday at 01:00 pm UTC I will publish a poetry prompt along with my response to it. You are invited to answer the prompt, twist it or ignore it; write a poem of your own or share a poem by another author.

I would love to hear about your inspiration, your creative process or other poetry related thoughts, but this is no way obligatory. Nothing is obligatory in this challenge, the idea is to get together, talk poetry and have fun!

How You can Join

Anyone can participate, anytime you want. Publish your poetry post and add a link to it to the InLinkz link-up below my post, or share your link in a comment. Use the tag Poetry 101 Rehab, so we can find each other in the Reader.

I will act as your hostess, and I’ll be here for you to reply your comments, read your verses, like and comment. While my blog is the starting point for the challenge, do visit fellow poets in the link-up and chat to them on their blogs!

 

The Prompt: Right

A thought popped up

In the back of my mind

What if I’m wrong

And they are right

 

I pushed it aside.

 

I believe

But me

There’s nothing else

Left to be

 

But me.

 

This week’s prompt is RIGHT, and my response to the prompt is characteristically dark, as is my photo at the top of this post. While my poem focuses on the contrast of right and wrong, you can write about right versus left, about right alone in any sense or about anything really. What will your take on the keyword RIGHT will be? Blog about it in a poetry post and share your link below!
