APRIL FOOLS!

Poetry Challenge #133

Dear April Fools

Because it’s what one does on April Fool’s day, let’s be epistolary pranksters!  An epistolary poem, also called a verse letter, is simply a poem in the form of an epistle or letter. Think up a prank to play on some good sport in the form of a letter. Epistolary poems can take any form, from couplets to lists, rhyming and free verse. So take a few moments to push some poetic elements and/or impose a form on your prank.

If you’re feeling naughty, send your epistolary poem…

Don’t forget to say “April Fools” after!

Think of a naughty or nice prank—prankster’s choice

Set your timer for 7 minutes

Start writing!

Don’t think about it too much; just do it!

Cindy Faughnan and I began this 7-Minute Poetry Challenge MORE THAN 3 years ago! (Without a miss—no fooling!) We now take turns creating our own prompts to share with you. If you join us in the Challenge, let us know by posting the title, a note, or if you want, the whole poem in the comments.
