Plant Your Poetry Prompt Calendar - February
Here is another month's worth of themed prompts and a live writing session to steer you into your 2025 flourishing writing life.
“When you have once seen the glow of happiness on the face of a beloved person, you know that a man can have no vocation but to awaken that light on the faces surrounding him. In the depth of winter, I finally learned that within me there lay an invincible summer.”
- Albert Camus
What an amazing first month of writing a poem a day for January - I am so floored by the amazing and poignant poetry you have shared with me and the community so far.
February’s theme is Connection, where we celebrate the art of relationships and meaningful connections.
I hope you enjoy this writing session I have put together for you which also includes some of your amazing poems and lines from the month of January, as well as writing on our first prompt of February! I hope it motivates you to continue with the prompts I’ve carefully curated for you throughout the rest of February.
There is a subscriber only chat available where you can share your words daily as you write them, I will be posting a new thread at the beginning of each month and you can reply to the thread with your poems, that way they will be easy to find and others working their way through the prompts can offer their support and encouragement towards your beautiful lines of poetry. I will be reading every piece that is written and will highlight poems that resonate on the 1st of the next month.
If this is your first time writing with me or Plant Your Poetry, here are a few helpful tips on how to begin and how to keep going:
Set a timer for 10 minutes and write on the prompt for that day.
Don’t beat yourself up if you miss a day, love yourself back on track.
Keep a special journal or dedicate a folder or notebook specifically for these prompts and poems to keep everything in one place.
Share your words where you can - you will be seen, encouraged and supported.
Nothing matters except the goal of writing for 10 minutes on the prompt today.
Try to edit as little as possible on the pieces while you write them, this is the best way to get out what wants to be written.
If you are struggling, seek support and tell about it.
Write with a buddy, share the prompts between you, write on alternative days and send them to each other, or meet up to write where you can, accountability is your best friend.
Know that you deserve this and you are someone who can do this sort of thing.
Underneath the video below are downloadable and printable pages of the Plant Your Poetry Prompt Calendar so you may stick the prompts up somewhere in your sacred or creative space to write, meditate, or ponder on. It may feel satisfying to tick off the prompts as you go.
