Whoot, making progress, doing all the things, I am so very excited to see what I come up with this hour and what you folks do too! My prompt this time around is “Where do the stars go?” and it is from a pre-made prompt list I crafted to share with my audience. I hope that if you’re finding this and inspired by the idea you will also know with full confidence to take it and run.<\/p>\n
Now, on to the poem, shall we???<\/p>\n
Poem 4:<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
There is a certain sort of<\/p>\n
innocent wonder that comes<\/p>\n
with questions like, “where<\/p>\n
do the stars go?” and “How<\/p>\n
does the rain know to fall?”<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
It is in these moments that<\/p>\n
our inner child, or the children<\/p>\n
around us so often, are allowed<\/p>\n
to explore the endless number of<\/p>\n
possibilities that make myths and<\/p>\n
legands and day to day living just<\/p>\n
so accessible. So beautiful. And<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
today, as we gather around the idea<\/p>\n
of poetry and love and creativity flowing<\/p>\n
ever so freely, I ask you what is it that<\/p>\n
the children these days really need?<\/p>\n

Poem 4.5 (because I had two different directions I wanted to go with this prompt and well, I have time!) :<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I have, personally, always wondered<\/p>\n
where do the stars go during the day<\/p>\n
when we cannot see them, spot them,<\/p>\n
name them from beyond the clouds and<\/p>\n
the ever-brilliant glowing skies. It is not<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
that I don’t understand science, earth’s<\/p>\n
rotation, or any of the fancy terms we use<\/p>\n
to explain such things – and so much more;<\/p>\n
but rather, I have come to discover that<\/p>\n
constant questioning, dreaming of the<\/p>\n
many possibilities, and experiencing<\/p>\n
each and every moment as it truly is<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
allows for the artistry to flow through<\/p>\n
me so much more authentically. Thus,<\/p>\n
I am able to explore all the light that<\/p>\n
truly does exist within me, after all,<\/p>\n
we are all made of the same stuff<\/p>\n
as those glorious stars we all talk<\/p>\n
so very much about in poetry.<\/p>\n
