Poppy’s Prompts | #13
Greek Mythology Edition
Hello Vocalites,
After a significant break from my prompts, I'm back with a new one. This is somewhat different from the last twelve.
Once again, I'll be giving you a list of prompts (Greek Mythology related) but I only want you to write about one prompt per poem. You can have as many entries as you want but I would like one prompt only to be the main focus of the poem. You can have the prompt be literal or metaphorical, overt or subtle but I want the poem to be inspired by the prompt.
The final day to submit your poems will be July 31 (AEST). I will decide on the first three places sometime after this. I've been pretty inconsistent on Vocal lately so don't worry if I don't read your poems straight away, I'll get there eventually.
Make sure to share a link to your poem in the comment section to make sure I include it in the list of entries. I'd appreciate if you'd share a link to this story somewhere in your entry but it isn't required.
The Prompts:
- Icarus
- Cassandra
- Hades and/ or Persephone
- Achilles
- Aphrodite
- Narcissus
- Calliope
- Zeus
Happy writing :)

The steps to losing a child
Step One: Lose a child. Not what anyone wants to happen and nothing you can do to change it, but you can go through steps to becoming happy again. You can go through steps to loving again. You can go through steps to become a new you because after losing a child you will never be the same person you once were.

I've been inconsistent on vocal as well. Trying to be better! Congrats to all the winners!
