Poetry Month 2025 by Red Room Poetry #30in30
Red Room Poetry are the organisers of Poetry Month and in August 2025, they provided 30 writing prompts for three line poems for 30 days.
I joined the challenge and here are my contributions in bold text.
The writing prompts for each poem are in italic text.
If you click on the date link, you will see it published on Facebook and the engagement it received and some of the other entries (it was also run on Twitter and Instagram).
I started making contributions on 1 August 2025 and you can see them below.
Here’s a video introduction to the series from 2023!
Julia Baird: ‘Recall a time you have looked underwater, and make a list of what you saw. Then write a poem that disrupts the surface of things.’
As the sweat dripped from my torso
I slipped beneath the surface of the Murray River
To be greeted by the silence of Ngarrindjeri
