Writing Prompts-Some Things Are Meant To Be

Posted on by Penny Wilson Writes 

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

  2. 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!!
