This week’s poetry prompt is self explanatory. With the festive season rapidly approaching I decided it was time to explore some ideas about Christmas celebrations. What did this time of the year mean to you as a child? What memories do you have of Christmases past? Send your submissions to me at traffa-m@bigpond.net.au as Word or text document attachments.

Remember what it was like when your best friend told you a secret and made you promise not to share? I can’t wait to see what wonderful poems you come up with this week. Have fun and play with this prompt. Remember, you’re writing for children. Cast your mind back to how it felt to be four, six, or 10. What secret would you tell? Would you tell it? What would it take to make you talk?

I hope your week is off to a creative start. It’s a while since I posted this prompt – February in fact – so I thought I’d put the call out there again. Rhyming poems do far outnumber the non-rhyming poems I receive for Poem of the Day, but there’s always space for more. I love playing around with different rhyme patterns. I hope you do too.

Don’t forget, if you’ve missed a prompt from previous weeks, you can always catch up.
