Nanowrimo Starts Tomorrow. I Am Not Currently Writing Novels, But I Do Write Poetry, And I Think It Would

Nanowrimo starts tomorrow. I am not currently writing novels, but I do write poetry, and I think it would be nice to set myself a challenge and write consistently for a month. I love prompts, so I came up with some which are meant specifically for poetry, but can be used for prose too. Feel free to use them, if you want, and tag me if you do! (I will like and reblog from my main blog, @fragiledewdrop)

Nanowrimo Starts Tomorrow. I Am Not Currently Writing Novels, But I Do Write Poetry, And I Think It Would

One day, one rhyme- Day 2485

I could achieve anything, but

I’m scared to begin.

There are insidious whispers

Lurking deep within,

And they speak their snide utterings,

What-ifs and maybes

And possible problem checklists

Will cause me to freeze.

I must flex my resilience,

Fight the fear within,

Because not one thing will happen

Until I begin!

Can’t believe Jane Austen wrote Pride and Prejudice in the 2000s

And in 2015 Emily Brontë released literary clsssic Wuthering Heights

Thank God someone paved the way for them…

Sunshine In Disguise 🌤

Standing in the middle of a crowd

struggling to find my sound

I put my heart on a silver platter,

every wound unbound.

Endlessly wanting to do furthermore,

to feel a sense of belonging.

Until one day, I was worn out

wishing for an exemption from that longing.

It took me ages to comprehend

that it takes only one soul

willing to give you a corner of their heart,

to pull you out of that black hole.

Someone who'll sit with you

until you're ready to talk.

Someone you can hold on to

until you're ready to walk.

They'll give you an unfeigned smile,

the one that reaches their eyes.

And that is how you'll know

that's your sunshine in disguise.
