It’s the middle of Sexual Assault Awareness and Prevention Month and National Poetry Month. How are you marking this time?
Today I got up and did my morning pages, and now I’m going to go do some stretches and yoga before I have to get ready to catch the bus.
Check out this poem — I love those first lines: Like a flower, your beauty / is wild and untamed.
I’m grateful to this poet for sharing their work, grateful to the photographer for putting this image up online. So many , many ways to publish our work these days!
Here’s the prompt: What is the poetry of your body today? Take 10 minutes, “This is the poetry of my (his, her, your) body…” and write. (If you find yourself getting stuck, begin again with the phrase, or change it to “this _isn’t_ the poetry…” or grab a line or word or phrase from the poem in the image.)
(Thank you for your poetries, your creativities, your words!)
