 Poetry Challenge 2019 - Week 28 Words
 Poetry Challenge 2019 - Week 28 Poem
Week 28 words from @freerthinking: silently, cacophony, compassion, flourish and noble.

 

silently flourish

amid the cacophony

of negativity and doubt

and show compassion

to your noble self

Here are the words and my poem for the twenty-eighth week of the 2019 Poetry Challenge.

This one was fun. I had all but one line done really fast. I set the poem aside during the week, busy with other things (namely all the cool stuff happening at the Melbourne Spoken Word & Poetry Festival) and then when I came back to it, the last line slotted neatly into place. If only all poems were this easy to write!

If you want to join the 2019 Poetry Challenge, head on over to my Instagram account (@indraniperera) where I post the words for the week on Mondays (mostly) in my story. Write a poem and post it. Be sure to tag me and use the hashtags #2019poetrychallenge and #livepoetsclub. 

If you don't want to write a poem, you can still be part of the 2019 Poetry Challenge. Send me five random words and I'll use them in a poem. Either DM me on Instagram with the words or send me an email (indrani at indraniperera dot com).

Happy writing!
