The PoArtMo Prompt – May 2021

The PoArtMo Prompt is a monthly series with a twist. Submissions can only be sixku, kindku, pareiku, or flashku, the forms that we invented.

What’s in it for you? Well, the chance to be featured in a future issue of our magazine or even in a future anthology!

This month’s prompt is “Close to the ground”.

Imagine being an insect or tiny animal. What kind of stories would you have to share with us about the world around you?

Remember: If you choose to write a pareiku then you will need to use two copyright free images to inspire your piece. Here are two images that you can freely use.
