W3 :: beams of light

look
up in the sky
hope is there
between the beams of light
darkness retreats
room for joy
make space in your being
never leave for tomorrow
the opportunity is here and now


the opportunity is here and now
never leave for tomorrow
make space in your being
room for joy
darkness retreats
between the beams of light
hope is there
up in the sky

David’s W3 – prompt:

II. Aboli’s prompt guidelines

Write a reverse poem. A reverse poem can be read forward and backward (top to bottom or bottom to top, line by line). The meaning of the poem changes depending on the direction you read it in.

Examples of reverse poems

If you want an extra challenge, try writing your poem in exactly eight or twelve lines.

new year :: new journal

2024 morning pages journal

Introducing my 2024 journal. A fresh start for the new year with a new journal. This one is a gift from my husband. I love the cover and the pages are thick. I can use markers without staining the back side of the pages.

I always start the year with a new journal for my morning pages. It doesn’t matter how many blank pages I have left from the previous one. I love the feeling of opening it up the first thing in the morning, a new chapter begins.

Of course I have more than one journal going on at the same time. Each one with a different purpose.

2023 journals

Last year I used the blue one for morning pages, the tiny ones on the top for poetry, quotes and daily notes; and the magenta on the bottom for art pages, cards, photos … I’ll keep using some of them in 2024, they still have blank pages or I have bought new inserts for them.

I haven’t made any resolutions for this year, but I’m planning on lots of writing and creative projects. No pressure only going with the flow.

And you? New journals, new resolutions?

Happy 2024!
