Hello everyone,
We hope you are well and safe. Thank you to everyone who contributed a brilliant poem and work of art to the last prompt — Resolution.
The fantastic poet, Connie Song, was declared the winner of prompt #5 Resolutions, and to keep the prompt promise, she had the honor of choosing the theme for prompt #6! Thank you Connie for your beautiful poem, the photograph below, and this thought-provoking next prompt.
Theme
Connie Song, ‘Obstacles’ or ‘Fences.’
Connie: “Maybe you can write about overcoming obstacles or climbing over fences or how you are overwhelmed by obstacles.”
Merriam Webster defines an obstacle as something that impedes progress or achievement. What’s the first thing you think of when you hear the word ‘obstacle’?
“The magic, grace, growth and wonder of life is that wisdom follows a fall and defeat not from a win.” — Rasheed Ogunlaru
Fences symbolize protection, or hardships in life. What does a fence mean to you?
“I can attempt to stay on the fence. However, the problem is that the fence is a figment of my fear not a reality of my journey.” — Craig D. Lounsbrough
The flow is up to you.
