FORUM

Welcome home!

At The Poetry Cove Forum, we are dedicated to bringing together poets from all over the world. We believe that poetry can be a powerful tool for connection and community, and we want you to have a place where you can explore your craft in an environment that is friendly, welcoming, and supportive.

We are committed to providing this space for you because we believe that everyone deserves a chance to express themselves creatively and share their work with others who share their interests.

We hope you will join us in creating an open-minded, accepting, and supportive community of people who can help each other grow as poets.

Day 12 Prompt: "The Poetry of Places"

Today, choose a specific place that you encounter regularly but might often overlook—the corner store, a park bench, the bus stop, or even your own kitchen. Take a moment to really observe this place, considering all its details and the various interactions or events that occur there.

Write a poem that uncovers the hidden magic or significance of this everyday location. What stories could these places tell if they had the ability to speak? What kind of characters frequent these spots, and what are their stories?

Explore the sensory details—the sights, sounds, smells—that give this place its unique atmosphere. Maybe there’s a particular time of day when the light hits it just right, or a unique sound that marks the passage of time there.

Your poem can be a snapshot that captures the essence of this place, a narrative that weaves through the different characters and their lives, or a personal reflection on what this place means to you and how it influences your daily routine.

Happy writing! Let this prompt help you find the extraordinary in the ordinary, and bring the poetry of everyday places to life.
