Paper Poetry’s June 2025 prompt
Wellbeing Be Well
And a broad beacon of hope
Wellbeing be well
Cataracts of doom be damned
Light delivers hope
Greetings to our Paper Poetry friends,
Welcome to June! JUNE!! Can you believe it? The year is zipping by at a rate of knots that’s impossible to fathom, let alone keep up with. Perish the thought of trying to control it. Time will have its way — the universe will continue to spin — and we will spin along with it…or spiral willy-nilly into an unknown oblivion…
Whoa! Let’s stop right there!
…cataracts of doom be damned!
Let’s try that again…
…light delivers hope
— and with it a sense of wellbeing that all will be well in the end. 🌟
On the way to achieving that end, we inevitably make sacrifices which coincidentally was the theme of our May prompt. We are ever so grateful to the poets who contributed — sacrificed — their time, energy, and abundant creativity to respond to the prompt with such heart, soul and enthusiasm. Please sacrifice some of your own time to read their stories —
