Write a 5-line poem about how you're feeling today.

It’s poetry writing time. ☺️✒️

For today’s challenge, write a five-line poem about how you’re feeling today. You’re free to write in whatever style or structure feels right to you, there are no rules! If you need some inspiration, here are some examples: you could write a free verse, acrostic, imagery, or lyric poem.

Here is @sparklywartanks poem:

Even as she opens her eyes with sunrise, she pushes through.

Her voice, a beacon of light. Her best, enough, as she gently soothes her inner critic.

One moment at a time—fleeting, like a race car finally crossing the finish line.

She can't wait for her Friday finish line.

Maybe then she'll get a full night's rest, and her mind will finally quiet down.

What are your favorite topics to write poems about?

Writing poetry is like going on an endless adventure in your mind, and the best part is that there isn’t a "right" or "wrong" way to travel.

One day you could write a poem about how you’re feeling, and the next one could be about your favorite food, or even a cherished memory you have. The beauty of poetry is giving your creativity permission to take the lead!

Mighty staffer @sparklywartanks says she enjoys creatively describing her mental health symptoms in her poems as well as celebrating any victories she’s had.

If you could wish for anything right now, what would it be, and why?

Happy Monday! 💫

We're grateful to be starting a new week with our Mighty family.

For today's #MightyMinute , imagine you could wish for anything right now. What would it be, and why?

Feel free to be as creative as you'd like! ✨

Mighty staffer @sparklywartanks wishes for more hours in the day to rest and experience more joy. Lately, she's been feeling weighed down by just about everything. 😫😵

TRUE or FALSE: Poetry helps me express myself.

Mighties, let's get on the creativity train and talk about poetry this week! 🚂

Whether a simple free verse poem or ones filled with metaphors, smilies, and analogies, poetry can be a tool to creatively express your thoughts, feelings, and ideas. Some may find it beneficial to use this creative method to get their point across while others may prefer the more direct prose approach.

Do you use poetry to express yourself? Let us know by answering "true" or "false" in the comments below!
