For experienced April PAD Challengers, today’s prompt will seem familiar. In fact, I kind of tipped my hand yesterday with my example poem of what today’s Two-for-Tuesday prompt would be.
For today’s Two-for-Tuesday prompt:
- Write a love poem.
- Write an anti-love poem.
Bees
Beloved bees
Beautiful bugs
Bustling builders
Black and blond
Bumble beasts
Blossom to bouquet
Burdened bullets
Back to base
Barbed berserkers
Buzzy buzzy buzzy
Bees!

Going through my inbox and I DID save your latest posts. :) I’m trying to think of a way to write my thoughts on this using only words that start with ‘b.’ Looks like you’ve already adopted this new language in the comments! :P Bery bood. I like the “blossom to bouquet” line.
