Poetry Prompts Day 20 - OctPoWriMo 2016

I'm enjoying my new job but I miss reading more of your poems. I haven't worked at a regular job in years and it is definitely taxing but I feel good about it. I'm trying to stay positive about the fact that it is taking so long to make a living from writing. For now it is going to have to be a part time endeavor.

On a super positive note, I was able to get my car fixed today which has been out of commission for several weeks. Yay!

How is your month going? Anything new and interesting?

Day 20 Prompt: White


Possibilities:

White has so many connotations, white flag, white hat - hero in the old west movies, white - purity, white - clean, white light, white clouds, and the list could go on. What is the first thing that comes to mind when you think of white? Start from there and write for ten minutes.

Suggested poetry type: Tetractys

Word Prompts:

purity
hero
clean
light
energy


Music for your Muse:







Remember, our prompts are only suggestions, where you find inspiration for your poetry is up to you.
During OctPoWriMo, if you want to make sure that we know you have written something new, comment in that day's post with your link to your blog and/or share your link on Twitter with the hashtag, #OctPoWriMo.
If you would like to leave an active link in the comments:

<a href = "your link">your title</a>

You have to put the link to your post (same link you would put in the comment section) in the, "your link" space within the quotations and the title to your post in the, your title, space.

Our link would look like this:

<a href="https://poetsonthepage.blogspot.com/">OctPoWriMo</a>

Once you hit publish on your comment it would look like this (only with the name of your post):

OctPoWriMo

I hope that helps. You don't have to do this, it is only if you would like to make your link an active link.

Remember to visit two or more OctPoWriMo participants and leave encouraging and supportive words along the way.

Peace,
