heartbreak
They can break your heart, but they can't break your soul; poetry about lost love that comforts and uplifts.
A Letter To My First Love
The Prompt - Write a poem on endings, using flame or fire as your central image. This is the final challenge in our Vocal+ Fall Poetry Series, and it’s all about endings. Flames fade, fires burn out, and what remains is ash, memory, or the promise of something new. Your poem might take fire as destruction, as warmth, as memory, or as transformation. However you approach it, let the flame guide you to what it means to reach an ending, whether it arrives with silence or with a burst of light. Write like you are watching the last fire fade.

When I Finally Let God Carry Me
There comes a point in life when a person becomes tired. Not the kind of tired that comes from a long day or a sleepless night, but the kind that settles deep in the bones. A tiredness of the soul. I reached that point slowly, step by step, without even noticing how heavy my heart had become. I thought I was moving toward the future I wanted, pushing through storms because I believed my way was the only way. I fought every wave. I resisted every turn. I tried to fix every problem alone.

Giving Thanks
A holiday. For many a day off, and for many just another day at work. It's the one day set aside each year to give thanks. A day of gathering and feast, a day of remembrance and the gift of family and friends. Gathering around the table with a lavish meal and enjoying treasured company. Laughter and singing, playing games or laying on the couch in a food coma.
