Prompt: Write something that disappears-Have you ever wanted to disappear rather than facing something unpleasant?-How are disappearing and escaping different? How can disappearing be a form of escape?-What situations are appropriate or even good to disappear from?Prompt: Write a timeline-Do you know anyone that has stuck around in your subconscious longer than they did in person? Are you willing to tell us about them?-How can an unhealthy relationship feel like holding your breath? Why might you still feel like you’re exhaling even after it’s over?Prompt: Write something that repeats-What does the word “again” mean to you? What does it mean in the sense of a relationship? Of getting over someone?-How can unhealthy or abusive relationships fall into a repeating pattern?-How does the line spacing in this poem contribute to the theme of the poem?Prompt: Write about a first-How does this poem also utilize the theme of “again” to make its point?-Do you think a relationship can stay as good as it was in the beginning? Have you experienced that?-How does this poem also use the theme of the cyclical nature of abuse and unhealthy relationships?-Is there anything you think is just as good as the first time you experienced it?Prompt: Write about something forgotten-Do you have things you can never quite remember? Whether it’s tastes or smells or memories?-Have you ever been in a relationship that was incompatible? -How can strong happy emotions turn into strong bitter emotions?Share your favorite poems and quotes from this week! -- source link
