Writing Prompt

POEM STARTER

Human souls are part of a pattern too large to see in each individual. Together, we form something greater than we can imagine.

Write a poem based on this idea. It can be loosely related, but should focus on the theme of individuals vs. togetherness.

Writings

The Power within ourselves

Together as a team we can do things faster

As an individual we strive to do better than we can do on our own

On a line, cooks need to be with each other to multitask

When your by yourself it’s a different ball game

The pressure, the intensity intensifies the more we are alone

As a team we can talk, support ourselves and keep a balance to maintain how much we can and can’t do by ourselves

A te...

A Crowd Of One

A single voice is quiet,

A crowd — cacophony,

And if I start a riot,

I want more there than me.


The individual is weak,

The masses have the power.

If change is what we truly seek,

Together we must flower.


A single tap left running,

Well that’s not a big deal.

Like a single ball of snow,

Slowly rolling down a hill.


A little bit of plastic,

A tiny bit of litter.

Whilst I’m enthusiastic,

I’m not E...

Powerful

One piece of a puzzle

One wheel of a bike

One word of a novel

One lego in an entire set

Order without chaos

Silence without sound

Chain Reaction

We are perfectly broken

Twin nuclear reactors

Odious words spoken

Left jagged fractures

 

Melting down rapidly

Consuming white heat

Torching our love avidly

Neither will retreat

 

The dark smoke thins

Scarlet flames recede

Revealing scars within

Committed to our creed

 

Alone, yet bound together

Repairing shattered selves

Mutually tethered forever

In hollow concrete shells...

Invisible Threads

The moments that click by in a life time

Some days there seems to be no rtmythm or rhyme

Succluded in a cavern of self doubt and loathing

Feelings that weigh down the soul and keep us from floating


Followed by the days that we are full of life and joy

The flutters of anticiapation like the first love if a girl and a boy

The days when we see beyond the small horizons of our self

Days that our ey...

Weave Souls

In the quiet hum of a thousand hearts,

each pulse a lone note in the symphony of life,

I wander, a solitary traveler—

yet not alone,

for every step is echoed

in the rhythm of countless others.


We are scattered sparks in a dark sky,

tiny flickers of light,

each one burning in its own way,

but together,

we kindle a blaze

that outshines the stars.


Individually, we are whispers,

fleeting and soft—

a...

Written Stars

A soul

Written in a star of the universe

Perfectly timed

Delicately planned


A sequence in which is sealed

As it advances through the vastness of the solar system

Awaiting connection


As this star

This single, little star

Was formed solely in purpose of harvesting ones soul

As it creates a tie within others

Navigating together


Building simultaneously

Sculpting a story

As these stars connect

And...

The Celestial Weave

Beneath the endless canvas of night,

our souls shimmer like stardust,

each a tiny spark within a much larger design,

a hidden pattern too vast to grasp.


In the quiet hum of cosmic winds,

whispers of ancient light tell of unity,

of souls intertwined in the fabric of time,

each a note in a celestial symphony.


We are the constellations of thought and dream,

mapped out in the ink of distant galaxies...

Forever And Ever

Have you ever heard the phrase

“Better together” they praise

It’s funny really

How they keep trying

But that’s not how

I take a vow

To say the words of my mind

What they find

You can’t sew a dress

With just trying

You have to make art

A masterpiece

And for that you need many tools

That’s not what they tell those fools

Use your brain

White, that’s just blain

Add other colors

Orange, blue, and more...
