Blessed Sunday, fellow writers! I hope you’ve enjoyed your weekend. It’s the first Sunday in June. What a glorious day!

Today’s prompt will be an inspirational quote. Use the quote to create a poem, journal entry, short story or even an art piece, maybe take a photograph… let your imagination soar!

REAL LOVE

TO SEE A CLOUD IN THE SUNSHINE OF LOVE,

WHEN THE FIRES ARE FIERCELY BURNING.

TO PENETRATE THE THREATENING DARKNESS

UNMASK THE POWERS OF DOUBTFUL FEAR

THAT SURROUND THE REALITY OF NOW?

~

TO ACCEPT THE LOVE AND LOVE REGARDLESS,

THEN REVEAL THE PERSON WHO HIDES INSIDE

THE CLOUDY BLACKNESS OF THEIR DARKNESS.

TO LOVE IS TO BEGIN TO UNDERSTAND WITH UNCONDITIONAL CARE,

WHEN YOU RIP THE DARKNESS AWAY!

YOU BOTH HAVE MUCH LOVE TO SHARE.

THIRTEEN WAYS OF LOOKING AT SNOW

THIRTEEN WAYS OF LOOKING AT SNOW

by John Yeo

1 ~ I see flurries of silent snowflakes

falling, drifting, settling,

A winter wonderland is created.

2 ~ The snow hangs thickly

on the branches of bushes and trees.

Bending, almost breaking

beneath the weight.

3 ~ Garden birds search hungrily

for hidden food under the icy blanket.

Snow covers and hides all.

4 ~ Water is frozen, solid and hidden,

beneath the thick snowy blanket.

Thirsty birds and animals

lick snowflakes for moisture.

5 ~ A snowflake is a thing of beauty

ice crystals that shine

with geometric splendour.

6 ~ Children wrap warmly in scarves and gloves

to welcome the snow with joy.

Skating and sledging, to and fro

With whoops of sheer delight

7 ~ A snowman is built by children of all ages,

Mum and Dad and old Uncle Tom.

A carrot for a nose and an old battered hat

with a scarf around the neck.

8 ~ In the snowy wastes, travel

over the glassy smooth surface is fast,

furious and exhilarating.

9 ~ Visibility in a snowstorm is impaired,

the snow falling thickly, too dense to penetrate.

Snow blindness can result from the glare.

10 ~ Housebound by thick snowy drifts

the old folk are trapped indoors,

many look out desperately for help.

Sleigh bells ring jubilantly as horses arrive

with a sledge,

laden with food and warm clothing.

11 ~ Falling flakes add wonder to

the miracle of dazzling white snow.

A thick white carpet brings clean,

fresh magic everywhere.

12 ~ Life is harsh as plants push through

the snowy white blanket.

When the snow stops falling

sunlight begins the thaw.

13 ~ The world becomes a sea of slush

as the snow melts swiftly away.

Leaving behind a muddy, watery, dirty

sea of sludge.
