Today is Tuesday, which means two prompts.

First prompt: Write a love poem.

You

Please
Thank-you
I'm sorry
You first
Let's share
Remember when...
Let's try again
This is for you
I thought you
might like it
Can I get you
something
You rest
You deserve it
You make me
smile
You make me
laugh
You are the
heart of me.

Second prompt: Write an anti-love poem.

Your Fault

Pain
Bruises
You are ugly
You are stupid
You are worthless
You made me do it
You are useless
You are dumb
You are fat
Tears
Pain

And be sure to treat yourself to this video by clicking on the word DREAM. I guarantee you will not regret it and this woman's dream deserves to come true. She will make you cry but in the best way possible.

A Dream That Should Not Die

Jay from Bailey's Buddy put up this video. I didn't have time to figure out how to load the video but here is the link. Do yourself a favor and go watch it.

DREAM

This was one of the most amazing, goose bumpy things I've ever seen and this woman deserves to be heard.

A Poem a Day #13 - Drawing

For today's prompt, I want you to write a poem that incorporates a hobby (either yours or someone else's). That's right: Now is the perfect opportunity to write about your comic collection or your scrapbooking activities. And for the purposes of this challenge, I also think activities such as fishing, running, bowling, photography, birding, and gardening count as hobbies.


Drawing

A line flows from my pencil after
traveling from my eye to my brain and down
my arm through the muscles
of my hands, the flexing of my fingers
appearing as if by magic
without my control, never to materialize
as the image I envisioned when I
first looked, when I imagined something
different it became new with time
stood still, hours passed
into the being of a creation beyond
my first thought.

A Poem A Day #12 - So We Decided

For today's prompt, I want you to take the phrase "So we decided to (blank)" and fill in the blank. Make that your title and write a poem. Some possibilities include "So we decided to plant a tree" or "So we decided to burn a hole in the sky."

So We Decided To Keep On Living

So we decided to keep on living,
me, myself and I.
Much too soon to stop from giving
up, rolling over to die.

So we decided to try once more,
to rise another day.
Looking at life different from before,
seeing it in a new way.

So we decided to keep on going,
one more chance,
for all my selves just knowing
to continue with the dance.
