For today’s prompt, write a poem using at least 3 of the following 6 words:
- ghost
- crack
- free
- hand
- check
- know
If you want to use any of these words within a larger word, that’s totally fine. For instance, ghostwriter, cracked, freedom, handle, checked, knowledge, etc. If you can use all six (as I’m about to try), you get extra credit.
Note: For those waiting for the 2016 April PAD Challenge results, I’m nearly there. Should post results before the month is over.

Revision doesn’t have to be a chore–something that should be done after the excitement of composing the first draft. Rather, it’s an extension of the creation process!
In the 48-minute tutorial video Re-creating Poetry: How to Revise Poems, poets will be inspired with several ways to re-create their poems with the help of seven revision filters that they can turn to again and again.

Here’s my attempt at a Six Words poem:
“When Do You Know You’ve Cracked?”
When a ghost checks your free hands for a pulse.
