Here’s today’s NaPoWriMo prompt:

Today’s Prompt

Write a list poem incorporating the concepts of Eclipse, Water, and Puzzles.

These three concepts don't easily fit into one another, which is perhaps why this prompt is even more exciting. In what poem will these concepts meet? One trick you can do with a list poem is think laterally: figure out what connects these (and other) concepts, and create a poem that lists out those connections.

Here are some paintings and prompts:

Eclipse

Is something blocking your light?

Water

Water can replenish. It can also drown and erode.

Puzzles

Write about a question you don't have an answer to.
