poetry prompts — Dandelion Scribes

The following Poetry Month prompts were posted throughout the month of April 2026 to encourage creativity in our poetry community. Each prompt takes its inspiration from a poem by one of our core contributors. We have left them here for you to explore and to write poems of your own in response if you feel so called. If you do happen to write something and wish to share it with us, head on over to our submissions page to send it in! We’d love to read it and perhaps even publish it in a future collection here on the Scribes!

And while you’re here, check out WILD & WONDERFUL, our digital collection featuring a selection of poems written by our poetry community during Poetry Month 2026.
