This weeks creative exercises I chose from Indeed! They posted a short simple article with about 18 different prompts to try, to help build creativity. This week I wanted to chose a more challenging one, that was less graphic based, or with no art, so I decided to try and write a poem-
I don't think I've written once since middle school so please bear with me, the topic I chose was to reflect on my current work schedule, as it's been pretty brutal to juggle, especially with the holidays;
The days stack high, like gifts in a pile,
Each task a mile, no room to smile.
The lights blink fast, the music plays,
But I’m lost in the rush of endless days.
Then laughter calls, a soothing sound,
With love and peace, I’m gently found.
The holidays over, my spirit restored.
Safe to say I am very excited for December to be over, but making a poem was quite hard, rhyming lines with the last is hard to do for me, but a quick video on YouTube gave me some pointers. While it was helpful to break out of my comfort zone- I did not find this exercise as useful as others.
Everyone have a safe and happy holiday!
