dVerse Poets Poetics

Today, I’m asking you to write about something(s) that brings you joy. It can be a tiny thing, like a favorite mug, or a big thing like seeing so many people voting, or huge, like life itself.
If you need a specific idea, look around the room you’re in now or look out the window. Find something there that brings you joy. There are no limits. And there can be more than one thing.

***

This is Poetics, so there is also no designated form.

Optional Bonus ideas : Include at least one kenning; write your poem as a letter; write your poem as a fairy tale; use the phrase “keep breathing” or “everything matters.”

keep breathing, the joy

exists in that tiny light

it’s there if you look

the joy is in family

the joy is in your good health

–

keep breathing, the joy

see it loving your children

it’s there in their smiles

realize hope can be found

keep breathing, search for the joy
