Day 22

Welcome back, everyone, for Day 22!

Our featured participant for Day 22 is Freckled Writer, whose poem for Day 18 contains some good, bad, and indifferent advice for women and girls, including “You can prevent most problems/ by worrying about them/ before they happen.” I have, unfortunately, been attempting to prevent problems like that since I was born.

Today’s featured journal is Phantom Limb, which has published NaPoWriMo-er Natalie Eilbert. Submissions are currently open; you can see the guidelines here.

And now for our (optional) prompt! Today, I challenge you to write a poem for children. This could be in the style of a nursery rhyme, or take a cue from Edward Lear or Shel Silverstein. It could rhyme — or not. It could be short — or not. Happy writing!
