Poetry Prompt Day 12 - OctPoWriMo 2016

How are you faring with this daily challenge? Me? Not so good. I am writing this post on my phone in my flooded apartment in Chesapeake, Virginia. Hurricane Matthew was brutal here and we lost 2 vehicles, a piano, and numerous other personal items. It could have been far worse and my heart is heavy for those who fared worse than we did. If you were impacted, then this prompt is coming at a perfect time!

The Prompt: STRONG


What comes to mind when you hear the word "strong"? Here are some of my thoughts: strong storm, strong body, strong spirit, strong drink...

Word Prompts:

strong
resilient
powerful
distinct
forceful
determined

Music For Your Muse:

Christina Aguilera - Fighter

    I'm really sorry you are having to deal with the damage from the storm. I experienced the flooding in Boulder, Colorado in 2013 and it left me with some PTSD. I was angry with myself because my home wasn't really damaged, but I was driving when my car was hit by a wall of water. I managed to stay on the road, but it left me shaken. It made it hard to write for a while after that. I was never really sure why.

    I love this prompt. As I live in Canada, I wasn't affected by the storm, but I am sorry that you were. I did a rhyming blitz poem today: Sing of Care.
