Day 10 Creations:
The Bad Poetry prompt for today was to write for, with, or to: a younger version of you, a future version of you, or all selves in one spot. I created one poem to younger and one to future me.
dear younger me,
I wish I could remember
happy times
Or at least more happy times
A few pop through the veil
from time to time
The veil of numbness,
boredom, or
outright pain
But it’s a fog that I search through,
Always reaching,
rarely finding purchase.
❤️ me
dear future me
I hope you’re proud of me
I hope we’ve lived
a life of service
connected with joy
I hope we’ve lived
a life challenging
our beliefs
and assumptions
That we fought oppression
and fascists’ asses
every step of the way
I hope we’ve lived a life of
connection, fun, and love
❤️ me
I learned that yesterday was the start of the Year of the Wood Dragon in the Lunar New Year. I’m not sure if what I drew is a wood dragon, but I love their colors!
