2019-04-12 By • Filed Under: 30 Days 30 Poems Challenge, Childhood Memories, Creative Writing Exercises, Poetry Prompt

Today’s poetry prompt is based on the poem Father’s Day

Have you had some kind of “tree house, hung from an ageless pine” that allowed you to live fairly seamlessly with your natural surroundings?

Write a poem about a parent, sibling, or friend who has influenced your stance towards our natural world. You can begin your poem with a question, as in “Father’s Day”: Remember the…?
