National Poetry Writing Month Forum |
If you have gotten behind, try writing a few haiku or other small form poetry. Remember, even the little ones count. And if you are trying to get more than 30 poems (there are special prizes for this), using small forms works for that as well. Prompt One: In the Bible, the number seven represents a number of things: foundation, completeness, and perfection. The birthday of the creation of the world is Oct. 7th. In the Revelation, there are seven angels, seven churches, and seven seals. And there is a ton more information on the importance of this number. http://www.biblestudy.org/bibleref/meaning-of-numbers-in-bible/7.html Prompt Two: And for those of you not writing in the Christian genre, the number seven is often considered a lucky number. "The number 7 is the seeker, the thinker, the searcher of Truth (notice the capital "T"). The 7 doesn't take anything at face value -- it is always trying to understand the underlying, hidden truths. The 7 knows that nothing is exactly as it seems and that reality is often hidden behind illusions." This from the following website where you can find more information. http://www.numerology.com/numerology-numbers/7 Using the information I just provided, write a poem about the number SEVEN. Have a happy poem writing day!!! |
