February Poetry Adventure 2025 Prompts
Return as Desired
A few days late. But illnesses don’t always agree with our preferred schedules. So, que sera, sera. (You’ll also notice that I’m going to be a few days behind on getting the audio up for this post. As well as late on my monthly newsletter.) And, if you’re just joining in and wondering what February Poetry Adventure is all about, you can read more here. :)
These prompt posts are the repositories for our adventures. A touch stone. A map to check back in on if we’ve taken a detour, paused at a rest stop, or are jumping in late. It’s your invitation to take the Adventure at your own rate. And revisit if and when you desire. (You can visit 2024’s Adventure prompts, too.)
So, because social media is exhausting and the algorithms never make any sense, I’ve created this post as a place you can check back to instead of scrolling through the Notes. You’ll find the list of prompt words below, updated each day, as well as having them linked to each posted Note so you can go back and read other people’s poems too. We’re all in different timezones and on different Adventure paces, so poems are added to each prompt at different times and on different days. Feel free to go back to past prompt words and see if any new poems are linked.
And if you’re posting your poems on Instagram you can use the #FebruaryPoetryAdventure to find the small but growing collection of public poems.
I’ll be updating this list between 12am and 2am PST each day. And I’ll add a note of encouragement here and there as well. :)

I love hearing your thoughts and comments on these posts. As always, this means I’m trusting you the reader to give me the benefit of the doubt if I say something weird, or create space for something which doesn’t align with what you think or where you are in your journey, just as I’ll do for you. And please extend the same courtesy to fellow commenters. This is a space to respect each other and the fact that being human is both amazingly beautiful and fucking complicated. Thank you for your respect.
thank you so much, Petra, for updating them so late in the night! Based in Europe, it allows me to tackle the prompts in the morning :)) Hope you’re feeling better now🧡send you much energy!!
