Stained Light
Blue shards splintered by inentional lies,
Red glass cracked from fires we sparked,
Violet dreams shattered, amber hope left sharp.
We gather the jagged, each edge an allegory,
Fingers gently sweep what we soiled,
Wiping away blood, sweat, grit; the costly repair.
From refuse, we raise stained-glass light,
Fragments fused, sun streaming through scars,
A united window, once broken but now found.
Start With Theme
When writing to prompts, the key to unlocking creativity often lies in discovering a strong thematic statement. A well-crafted theme serves as both anchor and compass, grounding your work while directing its movement. Before pen meets paper, spend time reflecting on the heart of the prompt—what core truth or perspective do you want to explore? That initial focus helps guide your imagery, structure, and language, giving your response a sense of purpose and cohesion. A compelling thematic statement can transform a simple prompt into a powerful narrative or poem, inviting readers to uncover its deeper meaning for themselves.
