Poetry Prompts -

“There is no work-life balance. We have one life. What's most important is that you be awake for it.” ― Janice Marturano

April was a month filled to the brim and then some; so many changes, so many things to do, and very little time for peace. Balance is something I have always struggled with and I've decided that is a perfect topic for this week's prompt as I'm going to delve into what it really means for me.

Poetry Prompts:

Write for ten minutes asking what balance means to you, how balanced or unbalanced your life is, and/or what feels balanced to you.

Or...

Write about balance in nature, where you see it and/or feel it.

Word Prompts:

Balancing
Stability
Equilibrium

Possible poetry type: Etheree

Relaxation and Poetry

Last week I had the most interesting experience. A friend of mine and I went to have a proper tea. We were allowed to pick out own teas. And we each had our own teapot. Everything was an astonishing amount of pink and I'm certainly more of an orange kind of lady. However-

-It was an absolutely relaxing time. The Victorian era dress of the waitstaff made me feel as though I'd stepped back in time. The luxury of it all. No loud voices, children dressed in their Sunday best. No hustle and bustle. No cross words. We had French onion soup, snacked on cute little sandwiches, and talked about everything that was going on in our lives. It was so therapeutic. Absolutely freeing.

There's something about our modern lives that sometimes carry us away from these kind of moments. Quiet bonding and fellowship. It brings a level of honesty to the conversation that's entirely gratifying. Let's try something for this new year to bring these quiet moments and conversations into our current lives.

Poetry Prompt: 

Take ten minutes or more and to sit quietly. If you need soft music to let yourself relax, do so. If you can only hideout for that quiet minute in the bathtub, get those bubbles flowing. Let your mind roam free. Take deep breaths to the count of 5.

Inhale 
 1 
 2 
 3 
 4 
 5 

 Exhale 
 1 
 2 
 3 
 4 
 5


And once you've entered a place of inner tranquility, write. Write about whatever is in your heart. Be honest with yourself and don't hold back. I'm excited to see what you've written.
