Hey everyone, how’s it going today? We’re coming into the last week of April, which means the end of National Poetry Month (until next year), and I just want to say, our little Ink & Alchemy community feels really, really special. It’s become my daily habit to come in and explore after posting the NPM prompt, and I get lost in here for hours. I’ll look up from my device and realize so much time has passed, and then I just laugh 😂 because that is amazing. Everyone here is honest, sincere, and open to creating. It’s such a special, safe space, and I’m so grateful for it and for all of you. As most of you know, this community is very new, and I’ve been building the classrooms as we go. Today, the full framework is in place. The leadership board now reflects your progression through the community levels found in the classrooms. Complete Level 1 and you’re a Scribe.Level 2, a Dreamer.Level 3, a Writer.And it continues from there. At each level, you’ll create an original piece of art. You can keep it, share it here, or post it in other communities and on other platforms. Just make sure you sign it. It’s yours. We’ll be adding more classrooms to expand on songwriting and methods to help you get into and stay in a flow state, allowing you to become a conduit for creation. We all have that ability. Truly, it’s an honor to experience what you create. And to everyone on the leadership board, thank you. You’ve helped shape this space, and everything you’ve shared will continue to inspire the people who come in next. I appreciate you so much 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 @Cynthia Keffer @Faiza Writes @Rositsa Aleksandrova @Meaghan Vaughan @Jason Strickland @Jasmon Flowe @Gareth Parkes @Aimee Elisabeth @Amanda J @Johnny Gallo

Hi everyone! 👋 I’m thrilled to be here representing the Ink & Alchemy Community ✨ During National Poetry Month, @Jason Strickland from Art of Poetry has invited us to explore daily prompts alongside the Alive Poets Society 📜🖋️ Here’s my Day 1 National Poets Society challenge! I wrote this poem reflecting on a moment of clarity and transformation while I was on the bow of a boat off the shores of Key West, Florida. It’s about stepping back, seeing life differently, and choosing to live for myself. ⸻ The Moment Everything Changed Sitting on the bow of a boat, Canned beer in my hand In the middle of the commotion Snorkel mask, a giant fishbowl I thought to myself: There is more to this potion Than work, eat, sleep, repeat I can fly away I can create I can swim in a new ocean In that moment—endless blue Striking orange, yellow, and new The sun kissed my face The water lit my soul I decided— To love my life To live for more
