So, it seems like lots of people were interested in having a look at what is happening on this blog, going by the increased number of people who’ve visited my blog. I know I’m very happy with the poem I wrote in response to prompt of ‘Rush’ that was the prompt for Day One of the “Fab Feb’ writing prompts.
Given that one of my personal aims for this one a day writing prompts month for all of February, was to hopefully get more to go in my next poetry collection, the month is off to a great start – my poem I wrote yesterday was a good one for sure! I’ve already found a good spot for it, in the first draft of te collection, and slotted it in!
And yesterday, I was thinking about what today’s writing prompt is going to be, and I think I have a great idea for the poem I will write later today.
In that poetry collection to be, I have another poem that contains today’s writing prompt word, and I wonder if you can pick what the word is, once you’ve read the poem?
********************
Night Sky
Moon and Venus are there
amongst the stars
all shining down on us
as we squabble and scrape
through the dirt.
Every now and then,
why not leave hate behind?
Look up and wonder
at the gracious harmony
of night sky’s beauty –
travel there in your dreams
of what life could be …
what you could become …
Move closer to the harmony
of that lovely night-time lesson
and aim your thoughts higher
and make your wishes broader.
Embrace the beauty and hope
as the vista above shines down
and shows how life could be …
***************************************
So there’s the poem, what do you think the correct writing prompt for today is? It could have been sky, or harmony, or beauty, or lessons, sky or vistas, but in fact the actual writing prompt for today, the 2nd of February and so the 2nd day of the the Fabulous Friday writing prompt challenge is:
**** STAR ****
It could be a star in the sky, a sporting star, or any other star you can think of. So think about it, and get writing, as I will be too, when I get home from the engagement I’m attending today.
Talk to you again tomorrow, with the 3rd writing prompt!
Cheers,
Carolyn Cordon, poet, blogger, editor, inspirer!

So, I’ve finally settled down, after a busy day, and written written the ‘Star’ inspired poem that came to mind yesterday, when I was thinking on today’s writing prompt. This poem is obviously something that’s been sitting in my mind, waiting to be looked at further, and today was the day.
This particular poem isn’t one that I immediately fell in love with, to put into my next poetry collection, but it looks at something that I’ve probably needed to look at, and write something about, so that is done. It may remain as a bit of narrative, healing poetry, meant for me only, we shall see. Some poems never need to be read by anyone else, simply looking at an issue, and writing about it help to end it, and life goes on again, one less issue to sometimes possible stew over.
It feels done, for sure, and over, in a good way. This is what creative writing can do. Good things.

Thanks John, this is one of my poems I’m proud of, and happy to have it in my next poetry collection, when I eventually finish putting it together and getting it read and then sent off for possible publication!
