I think it's time for some inspirational and motivational pieces after this long, cold winter. Let's bring in the spring with happy thoughts. 20 - 60 line pieces please, any form that inspires you and don't get so inspired that you forget good grammar and spelling.
Here are your prompts:
If you can keep your head when all about you
are losing theirs and blaming it on you.
^^^^^^^^^^^^
What can't be cured must be endured.
^^^^^^^^^^^^
The poetry of earth is never dead.
^^^^^^^^^^^^
Hope is the thing with feathers
That perches in the soul.
These prompts are all from the Old Poets and some of them are on my page. If you absolutely have to, you may seek inspiration by reading the complete poems but I would rather you base your pieces solely on the two-line prompts I have provided here.
Have fun.
I may decide to add more prompts later, if I come across a quote that seems inspiring or motivating.
