National Poetry Month ā Day 12
Theme: Gray Areas Life is rarely black and white. Most experiences live somewhere in the middle where things are both true and uncertain at the same time. Growth doesnāt always feel good. Love doesnāt always feel safe. Today we explore the space between extremes, where clarity is complicated and truth isnāt always simple. āø» Prompt 1 ā Blessings or Lessons Write a poem about an experience that felt painful but left you with something valuable. Something that didnāt feel like a blessing at the time, but taught you anyway. āø» Prompt 2 ā Both Things Can Be True Write a poem about holding two conflicting emotions at once. Loving and hurting. Healing and struggling. Wanting something and fearing it. Explore the tension of both. āø» Prompt 3 ā Somewhere In Between Write a poem about not fitting into clear categories. This could be identity, growth, beliefs, or a moment where you existed between who you were and who you are becoming.
