Hi, friends. I'm offering up the last set of prompts for Poetry Month. Will you go to the prompts with me? I'll wear the tux and you wear the dress. We're sure to be the most fabulous guests. Or better yet, I'll put on my thigh high boots we'll dance away these binary blues you can wear whatever the h*** you want. Show me your style and I'll show you my poem

You. Hi, Laura. It's Becky from Visions Expression. And I followed some of your beautiful creative writing prompts. And of course, we don't know where that's going to take us on our journey. Where we're going to end up. Is it a thriller? A romance? An expression of self? Things that just need to be said? But this is the line that I used

Hey, Becky. Thanks for being my date to the prompts. I really enjoyed your writing, and it's so it's just always so fascinating to see where prompts take us and what comes to light through them. And your poem was really grappling, I think, with grief and regret and trying to alchemize that. So thank you so much for coming to the dance and sharing what you created. Always a pleasure

Hey, Laura, I just want to say thanks for posting this prompt. It really inspired me. Today's poem that I did is called Everything, and it's based on this beautiful, beautiful poem that you shared with us. So thanks so much. Bye

And so that might lay credence to the grappling with different things a little bit more intensely than normal because that was all brought up and had to be felt and expressed and healed and listened to and heard and spoken and received and given and everything
So I'm not going to speak more about what it's going to be, but that's the piece I'm developing. Crushing intolerance with its gentle fingers. I might rearrange the wording of that a little bit, but that's going to be the sentiment of the piece. So when it is done, I will definitely post it on Swell, and I will definitely make sure that you are invited to the post so that you can see what I did with the prompt

Yes. I'm excited to see what you come up with. And you don't ever have to apologize for disappearing and doing what you need to do. I'm all about the cycles and embracing them. I'm just so happy that you're here and I love to hear your voice and look forward to anything when you have the capacity and the time to post. Thank you, sister
You stand at your easel of hate so willing to paint your portrait of shame not knowing the desperate way that you smile speaks of the only truth in your grasp that you are screaming yet silent to love you. Have no voice, no whispers for hope, just the tracks of your tears peace that dried long ago and a misery that you keep company in place of true friends. I can feel your heart flowing, no desire to continue and my compassion reaches out to crush your intolerance with gentle fingers
