Joy

From Tasha: 

What brings you Joy? Happiness is different from joy, which can come from a variety of sources, and is not always connected with "something nice." Joy is a very different emotion and one it can be fun to explore.

Waking up

From Paul: Write a poem that begins with you waking up.

Who Are You?

This weeks prompt is brought to you by Linda Rivas Bole... Tell us, in a poem, who you are. What makes you uniquely you? Use adjectives to share the real you with us. 

Turn on a light

I thought this quote might make a good prompt:

But you know, happiness can be found even in the darkest of times, if one only remembers to turn on the light. - J.K. Rowling, Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban

What You Want Me To Do

From Tad:

This phrase just popped up on my screen totally out of context. "Tell me what you want me to do." So that's the prompt. I later figured out what it was. It's from my jazz book, and it's something Thelonious Monk said to Miles Davis during a recording session that almost ended in a fight.

Hello darkness my old friend

Simon and Garfunkel gave us a beautiful verse about darkness. Tell us what darkness means to you. Show us with your words if it is your friend, your enemy or a place where you disappear into until the light returns.

June

From Tasha: 

What is so rare as a day in June? Or what is rare for you? June, rarity, or the rare day? Choose what you like.
