Today’s assignment is to write a poem using the following phrase “restlessness was never a problem.” You can use it to begin a poem, to end it or as a transition. We have four more days of assignments for National Poetry Month after today and I look forward to closing out this month with some very challenging assignments.

Today’s assignment is to write a poem about color. You can write about how the color reminds you of something and what sort of emotions it evokes. The one thing that I want you to avoid is a poem that uses the cliche of “feeling blue.” No poem about being blue, The Blues and so on. Make it simple but challenge yourself to go beyond the cliches. Check out today’s example.
Today’s example is a poem by Rachel Contreni Flynn.
YELLOW BOWL
if the rug beneath us
is woven with tough flowers,
and the yellow bowl on the table
rests with the sweet heft
of fruit, the sun-warmed plums…
