NaPoWriMo Poetry Prompt #15

--

Inspired by Willow Watson

Willow Watson

A couple of weeks ago, I went to an amazing special poetry edition of Con Tu Variety Show (https://www.contuonline.com/) at ATNSC: Center for Healing & Creative Leadership (ATNSC: Center for Healing & Creative Leadership) and heard three of the most amazing local writers we have in Cleveland: Stephanie Ginese, Chelsea Daniels, and Willow Watson.

Willow did a particularly affecting piece that began with the phrase, “If I must exist here…”

For this 15th day of NaPoWriMo, write your own poem that begins with “If I must exist here…” It can be about surviving in your body, in your home, in your city, in your state, in the US, or this war torn world right now.
