September’s Second Week Prompt Of Lifeline

Embracing the Majesty of Starry Nights

At night when the sun bids a bye and the sky turns dark, the magical stars take their place in the sky. Above us, there are no clouds, just countless little lights. These lights are stars, each with its own story.

The twinkling stars above make you feel small in the big universe, but somehow, you still feel connected to it all.

It's quiet and peaceful. The world gets really quiet, and you can hear the soft sounds of the night. Sometimes, a gentle breeze touches your skin, and you might smell the earth.

You get a chance to think. You might think about big questions in life or just enjoy looking at the beautiful stars. And sometimes, in that quiet moment, you might make a wish when you see a shooting star, hoping the universe might hear you.

Sitting under the starry night is like having a silent talk with the universe, and in that peaceful moment, you feel a sense of calm and like you belong to something special.

This week’s prompt is,

"Use simple words to tell us about the pretty night with lots of bright stars in the sky. Paint a picture with your words, so we can feel like we’re right there looking up at those stars."

I’m excited to share some wonderful poems from talented poets who were inspired by the idea of silence. These poets have used their words to capture the beauty and meaning of quiet moments. Their poems invite us to explore the world of silence, where we can find deep thoughts and feelings. These poems can transport us to a different place and make us think about life in a new way. So, let’s enjoy these poems together and appreciate the magic of words.

Now, let’s take a closer look at the poems written by some new poets who are part of the lifeline community.

Vanilla Being shared these poems at Lifeline.

Maulana Akbar Dwijaya shared a beautiful poem.

Willow Schroeder shared the poem about long distance love.

I want to invite all the poets from Lifeline. I hope you will like this prompt.
