My Poetry Challenge, Week One

 At the last minute this month, I decided to finally commence with an idea I've been wanting to carry out for several months now: a poetry challenge, based on the format of Kaitlin Curtice's poetry challenge from last May. (She has a new book that just came out! Everyone go check it out!) I made up the prompts, painted them onto slips of paper, and have been drawing them at random and writing a poem every morning. Some of my friends are participating too, which has been lovely, and perhaps in the future I'd like to open the challenge to more people. 

In the meantime, here are the first week's poems! Unedited and off-the-cuff.
