Prism of Colors

Poem

January/February Writing Prompts: 31st — 4th: Take a black-and-white image and use your words to create a color prism of mindful actions.

I am red, like the color of the blood that runs through my body, it signifies my vitality

I am blue, like the color of the oceans and the heavens above me, it signifies my serenity,

I am green, like the color of the natural pristine world around me, it signifies my creativity

I am orange, like the color of the flames of the fire burning inside me, it signifies my energy

I am yellow, like the color of the sunflower that faces the east daily, it signifies my positivity

I am pink, like the color of rose quartz formed organically, it signifies my femininity

I am violet, like the color of the Sabrewing hummingbird flying freely, it signifies my spirituality

I exist boldly in the prism of colors they signify who I want to be, can you see…me?

When I read this prompt, I was immediately inspired to write poetry, especially because jules encouraged us to try something new. I don’t mind stepping outside of the box to explore my creativity when I feel that fire, and I am grateful that this prompt created that desire.

This was written in response to jules’s January/February Writing Prompts 31st — 4th: “Take a black-and-white image and use your words to create a color prism of mindful actions.

Thank you all for reading!!! Thank you Diana C. for creating this space so that we all can revisit stages in our lives, tell our stories, grow, and heal. KTHT has been an emotional rollercoaster — one that I don’t mind riding.
