Written by

,

What are you protecting?

What are you protecting yourself from?

What are you protecting your loved ones from?

Make a short list of items, people, parts of self, or conditions you feel you need to protect or to be protected from.

Next, select one or two items from your list, perhaps related, to write about.

Describe why protection is needed, then describe how you will protect the items, people, or condition you listed.

Sample poems from Zingara Poetry Review:

“Because I Like to Make My Mind Pretty the Way We’re Told to Make our Bodies Pretty, I Work at Thinking Beautiful Things” by Rebecca Macijeski, Zingara Poetry Review

“School Bus” by Michael Chin, Zingara Poetry Review

“Protection” by F.I. Goldhaber, Zingara Poetry Review

    Love this idea of April prompts. Great list of questions. Went to look up the poems and each one took me to password protected page. I tried logging in to wordpress and that didn’t fix it.

    Love the prompts. I wasn’t able to open the poems, though.
