Poetry Wales will be posting weekly/fortnightly prompts for its new competition Wales Poetry Award. Prompts are not mandatory nor required for submission, but intended as inspiration for new writing. Wales Poetry Award is open to international contemporary poetry and closes for submissions 28 November 2019. Click for more information.
Writing prompt #3: Write about ritual.
We funnel ourselves through ritual after ritual, walks and waking, the sequence of turns and steps home, a thought spiral, movement, words, muscle-memorised or meaningfully enacted. Write a poem about ritual.
