As you visit a park (or two) this summer, try this writing prompt

writing prompt

"U.S. Poet Laureate Ada Limón’s signature project, “You Are Here,” includes an open invitation from the public to participate. 

It’s simple: What would you write in response to the landscape around you?
 
The prompt is featured on picnic tables to be revealed at seven national parks (listed below) throughout the year. But you don’t have to be at a national park to respond! 

Seek out a natural space wherever you happen to be, and write. Share it on social media if you feel called to, using the hashtag #YouAreHerePoetry."
