Poetry Prompts: All sorts of ways to start a poem

Joseph Coelho

Joseph Coelho

A compendium of poetry prompts from Joseph Coelho!

“You might not realise it but YOU’RE A POET! You became a poet as soon as you started reading these words, because you started a journey. Writing a poem isn’t as hard as you think, and poetry can be one of the most powerful things in the world, you just 
need to know how to get started. So let’s get started!”

Each fun prompt for writing a poem helps you discover how to write poems and then read them out loud (we know you can do it) AND you’ll love the illustrations.
