In order to keep up with events and deadlines, I have three journals. One just a calendar, another for daily to do lists and reminders, and another for writing. I've had more before. Sometimes, it takes an awful lot of lists to get basic things done.
Your prompt for today (okay, technically yesterday) is to make a list poem. Just freewrite for a bit, listing... directions, memories, things that drive you crazy, right-hand turns that should have been left. Be creative.
Ginsberg's "Howl" and Whitman's "Song of Myself" are famous list poems. If you've got the fire of a list list like that burning, then get it out on paper! But if you write something slightly shorter,that's fantastic too.
