“For today's prompt, write an active poem. That could be a poem comprised of active (vs passive) verbs. But it could also be about exercising, playing a sport, or keeping your mind active. Any activity would do, I suppose, even watching the paint dry.” Prompt taken from The Writer’s Digest webpage.

An Active Imagination
I look at the sky and imagine peaceful worlds
As the clouds float by.
I listen to the birds singing back and forth and imagine words of kindness
Dropping like pearls.
I feel your heart as I lay against your chest and imagine love
Beating in every heart.
I smell the lilacs and imagine sleepy little heads
Nodding off at the kitchen table.
I taste my first cup of coffee of the day and
“I think to myself,"
"What a wonderful world.”

Be kind. Stay curious.
