Prompt: Find colored pens, crayons, watercolors, or whatever you have that you can use to put color on the page. Remember, don’t worry about the outcome, just swirl the colors around the page. When you feel complete, write for ten minutes about your thoughts and feelings before, during and after putting color to the page. 

Note: I did not color, instead I envisioned swirling my fingers through a squishy beady mix of glittery softness while listening to the drums from the OctPoWriMo Youtube link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5cV5DHaVKv4


I remember this girl,
the one who loves to play
with words on her fingers
scrolling them through breaths
and weaving them through the tendrils
of her very existence.

I remember this girl, who cries because her
characters are experiencing broken hearts,
who are more real to her than the person driving
the car in the lane next to hers.
I remember this girl, who gasps because their verity and conformance
are about to merge them into a lane they were not expected to take.

I remember this girl, who laughed herself to wake,
because the words filtered through her dreams
into her sunrise.

I remember this girl. I never want to forget
that I am the girl I remember.
