Why Not Write Wednesday: The Found Poetry Review

It's Why Not Write Wednesday and today we are sharing one of our favorite poetry resources: The Found Poetry Review. The site has heaps of found poetry ideas and prompts to keep you waxing poetic. The Wonkapoem prompt below is one we particularly like.

Wonkapoem

"For this week’s prompt, take inspiration from Mr. Wonka himself by crafting a candy-inspired poem. Visit the Candy Wrapper Archive (yes, there truly is a website for everything) and craft a poem from words you find on the wrappers. A sampling of candy wrappers from the archive can be found below."

For more ideas like this check out The Found Poetry Review.
