Today's prompt from Poets on the Page
If
you wrote a poem yesterday, choose three lines that you feel are particularly
well crafted AND they speak to you. Those lines you chose are
now today’s poetry writing prompt.
Start
with one of the lines or phrases and begin writing it over and over and over…After
you have done that for a moment or two or five, other words will start pushing
through. Allow them to push through. Allow them to take the lead. Right here is the raw material for your poem of new
beginnings.
Resilience
and in the moment
when passion returns
overruns the heart hysteria
overtakes
the overclouded brain
you see the light
the path to acceptance
to peace
within yourself
you know you are enough
to overcome
whatever
comes
I think I'll print this one out and read it before I go to sleep tonight (and probably other nights, too.) It is exactly the message I needed to hear and so beautifully said. Like a lullaby for any age....
