Do you crave deeper levels of closeness? What is your experience of an intimate connection with another? What emotions do you experience as a result? Is it painful? Do you find comfort? Does it make you want to run away screaming or dive in head first?
Write a unique poem about intimacy. The poem needs to be about being emotionally intimate with another person. Some tastefully erotic poetry is acceptable as physical intimacy fits in but please refrain from being too raunchy and/or pornographic with it. If you have a question about this, please send me a message.
Be creative. Think about all the people you are or have been close to on an emotional level, including your kids, siblings, friends, spouses, lovers, etc. This one does not necessarily need to be about your partner to do a good job of depicting intimacy. I want it all. Enter as many times as you would like.
