Welcome back! It’s day two of the April PAD Challenge, and it’s your second chance to write a poem this month.

For today’s prompt, write a second chance poem. That second chance could be a second chance at a relationship, at living life, or doing the right thing. Maybe play with whether it’s deserved or not, or just dive straight into giving or taking that second chance.

Remember: These prompts are springboards to creativity. Use them to expand your possibilities, not limit them.

Here’s my attempt at a Second Chance Poem:

“communication”

sometimes i hear a rhythm
but the words are blurred
& i think in dos & das &
la la la la las & baby baby
baby baby please just give
one more chance to me
