Poetry Prompt



Consider these statements and question:

If you've been following the #WritingForHealing challenge so far, the following is true:

  • You've acknowledged that there are things you can't control.

  • You've also acknowledged the things the Higher Power can control.

  • Finally, you've imagined or remembered a time when you followed the guidance of the Higher Power.

  • On the list of things you can't control - which ones do you struggle to let go of?

With that in mind, here is today's prompt:

  • Discuss the things you struggle to trust the Higher Power with.

  • Explain why you hesitate to trust the Higher Power with these things.

  • Optional: Discuss what needs to be done, for you to move past this hesitation.


Creative Reminder

  • We are writing prose poetry

  • Prose poetry simply gives or explains the [your] narrative.

  • This does not require rhyme schemes or line breaks.

  • But you can have multiple paragraphs, if you like.

  • A random rhyme is also okay.

  • Feel free to use alliteration, symbols, imagery, or rhythm, if you want.

Example Poem:

Today, I don't have an example poem to share. I am saving it for a later date.
