🔥 National Poetry Month DAY 19 🔥
Poets… this one is different. Today, we’re not writing what’s easy. We’re writing what’s true. ✍️ The Prompt: “Write the thing you’ve been avoiding.” The line you almost deleted. The memory you softened. The truth you keep rewriting to make it hurt less. Today… don’t. 🎯 Challenge Rules: One poem Any style, any length Raw > Perfect Post it in the comments ⚡ Bonus Twist (optional): Include this line somewhere in your poem: “I almost didn’t say this…” This isn’t about being the best poet in the room. It’s about being the realest one. Because the poems that shake people… are the ones we almost never share. Let’s see who shows up.

🌸🖤Ink & Alchemy Weekend Lyrics Prompt🖤🌸
hiiii, I just found these lyrics in a box in my closet…and they felt raw in the best way. So I’m turning this into a community songwriting collaboration. Use this as your starting point and build your own song from it. Or use any inspo of your own and just copy the structure. LYRIC PROMPT — “OH MY” Start with: “Walking in the rain never felt right” Use the idea: Someone comes in, changes the feeling, but you already know how it ends………… STEP 1 — ANCHOR → CHORUS Anchor (1–2 lines)• Write a real moment (place + feeling)• Keep it simple and specific Turn it into a chorus:• Ask: who changed this feeling?• Say what they do to you (emotionally)• Repeat the main idea in a simple way→ this becomes your hook STEP 2 — BUILD VERSES (2 lines each) Verse 1• The moment they enter• What shifts immediately Verse 2• The pattern• What keeps happening Verse 3• Awareness• You know, but stay STEP 3 — PUT IT IN ORDER INTRO — anchor (1–2 lines)PRE-CHORUS — build tension (2–3 lines)CHORUS — main idea / hook (4–6 lines) VERSE 1 — 2 linesCHORUS VERSE 2 — 2 linesCHORUS BRIDGE — truth / realization (2–4 lines) VERSE 3 — 2 linesCHORUS OUTRO — return to the anchor, changed (1–2 lines) Drop your lyrics

🌸🖤 NATIONAL POETRY MONTH DAY 18 🖤🌸
🌿 National Poetry Month – “One Line That Echoes” 🌿 What if one line… just one… could carry everything you’ve ever felt? Today’s challenge is simple—but powerful: ✍️ Write ONE line of poetry. That’s it. No full poem. No overthinking. Just one line that hits. It can be: Beautiful Brutal Hopeful Broken Or something you don’t even fully understand yet But it has to feel real. 🔥 How it works: Drop your line in the comments Read others Reply to the one that hits you the hardest 💬 At the end of the day, we will pick a few standout lines and feature them across all communities. Because sometimes… one line is all it takes to remind someone they’re not alone. Now go write something that echoes. 🎤

🌑✨ INK & ALCHEMY — NEW MOON PROMPT ✨🌑
Who’s up late on this Saturday night… 🌙✨ Tonight’s New Moon in Aries is associated with themes of initiation, independence, and forward movement. Aries is traditionally ruled by Mars, which is linked to action, drive, and assertion. This moon phase can support clearing out what feels stagnant and refocusing on personal direction. 🌑 RELEASE What is draining you? What are you outgrowing? What is not working? 🌑 CLEAR What thoughts are looping? What are you overcomplicating? 🌑 REFOCUS What 3 things actually matter right now? What are your top 3 priorities? What needs your energy? 🌑 RESET Who are you becoming? What habits align with you? What path would you choose if you trusted yourself? Write it. Release it. Realign and Redesign your goals and your life.✨🌑🔮 Happy Journaling Share anything you’d like below ⬇️⬇️⬇️

Shoutout for Jason Strickland!!
“For every ending we survive reminds our weary soul, we’re alive. So walk it brave, though none can see the shape of what tomorrow will be. For life is not the plans we write, it's how we love and how we fight.” - Jason Strickland Stunning words by @Jason Strickland Most of you know Jason from Art or Poetry… but this deserves a moment 🖤 He recently called a few of us in to be part of a poetry book… and turned it into something super cool Page by page, he built a whole world. Voices, stories, emotion… all woven into a real book. Where Our Voices Begin : Poetry from The Art of Poetry Community I love poetry. I love the healing that comes from sitting with your thoughts and turning them into words. But I also love just reading it… getting lost in someone else’s world. I have books from some of the greats on my shelf… and now a few of poems, along with other incredible artists—some even in the Ink & Alchemy room right now—have a place there too. Publishing is not easy. At all. But Jason makes it look effortless… and that is so inspiring 🔥 I just want to hold him up on a pedestal for a moment. His vision and care turned this into something real—something you can actually hold in your hands 📚 And more than anything… he knows how to bring people together and create something meaningful. Grateful to be part of it. Grateful to witness it 🖤 This is what art looks like when it’s done right. PS you can read the book for free on your kindle, or for a couple dollars more purchase a hard copy that will be shipped out to you. Support Book Publishing at Art of Poetry Love Nikki
