Day 23 2025 ~ Let’s write a “Prompt Poem” for #NationalPoetryMonth ~ "30 poems in 30 days"

Today we are going to things a little differently. Rather than having me share a particular format and it’s guidelines, I’m going to offer you a list of prompts pertaining to today’s date: April 23rd. Use any poetry form you have learned here or elsewhere (yes, including free verse, if you wish), but see if using some of these “National” or “International” Days can give you an idea for writing a poem. Cheers!!

So, here are the prompts for this particular day, as April 23rd is:

National Talk like Shakespeare Day, National Movie Theatre Day, National Cherry Cheesecake Day, National Lost Dog Awareness Day, National Picnic Day, National Take A Chance Day, National Zucchini Bread Day, National Slay a Dragon Day, English Language Day, Impossible Astronaut Day, International Creator Day, National Asparagus Day, National Email Day, National English Muffin Day, Saint George’s Day, Army Reserves Birthday, World Book Day, World Book Night, World Laboratory Day, World Table Tennis Day, National Administrative Professionals Day.



Here's an AI-generated-cheesecake Image by Tasty Lens from Pixabay to help ya' get inspired as it IS National Cherry Cheesecake Day (yeah, this is not cherry cheesecake but ya' get the main idea). 


I’m going to go ahead and post this now, and once I get my own poem written for today, I’ll come back and edit it into this blog post. Cheers!!






PLEASE REMEMBER ~ any poetry found on this blog, written by me, is my personal property and may not be used without my permission, other than sharing it as an example in a lesson or to read it to someone. The same goes for any poems that are shared in the comments of this blog or elsewhere online as a result of this challenge. They are the creative property of the person who writes them. These poems are their original work and no one may use them without their permission. It is understood that they own the copyright to them as soon as they create them and especially once they post them. Thanks so much!

*** Also, if you choose to post your poems on your own blog or elsewhere on social media ~ that’s awesome. But PLEASE don’t just copy and paste my daily instructions, but rather post your poem on your blog or your FB wall or wherever AND LINK BACK TO EACH DAY’S SPECIFIC BLOG POST for others to come here to read the instructions. I’ve spent considerable time researching the poetry forms and writing them up to share with you. Thanks for respecting my work.
