I have had a terrible itch to write the past few days but nothing
came. So I tried something different. I Googled "Writing
Prompts for Poems" and came up with tons of ideas. So I
browsed the prompts and wrote down the words or phrases that
I liked:
Standing in line
The sound of silence
Overgrown
Trust issues
Locked in a jar
On shaky ground
Life-as planned
Dear Reader
Some things are meant to be
Strangest dreams
From these words, I came up with the poem below.
I call it "Some Things Are Meant To Be". Not my
best work, and I didn't use everything, but I
like the way it turned out. See what you think. :)
Dear reader
some things
are meant to be
The sound
of silence
overgrown
under the lid
of this jar
I've got trust issues
and stand on
shaky ground
giving me
the strangest
dreams
Life-
not as planned
but some things
are meant to be

Wow Penny!!! I love this!! So beautifully done!!! Impressive, Dear!! Great message!! The hard part of “Meant To Be” is when what we really, really want is NOT what is meant to be! That’s when the tears, heartache and not wanting to let go overwhelm us!!! And it takes a long while to accept letting go and moving on!!
xoxo
