For Poets

Hello fellow poets! I’m so happy you’re here.

Whether you are new to poetry writing, looking for inspiration or re-connecting with your creative passions, I hope you find some of the prompts and resources on this page useful. You’ll find a mix of nature and mindfulness-inspired poetry prompts and exercises that are suitable for both beginner and more experienced poets.

You might also like to check out my poetry books available on Amazon: Write Your Own Joy: 31 Poetry Prompts and 31 Poems of Joy.

Write Your Own Joy is a 31-day poetry writing challenge, but you are, of course, welcome to dip into the prompts in any way you choose. Each prompt features 3 “ways to play” ideas to further spark inspiration or challenge you to write in a different style or from a new Point of View. There are reflection questions for your journal at the end of each week. See sample prompts here.

This collection of 31 short, lovingly crafted poems, invites the reader to pause and see the beauty in life’s seemingly mundane moments. Through the lens of mindful noticing, the poet’s ordinary activities and surroundings take on a new resonance, transforming into cherished gifts through the magic of language and quiet contemplation. Read sample poems here.

Happy Writing, Kim xo
